The Gauteng province funds non-profit organizations that offer various services to victims of gender-based violence (GBV). These services include empowerment programs, psychosocial support, and addressing gender stereotypes in communities. Victims in shelters are encouraged to open cases with the police, though the decision to proceed legally is theirs. Protection for victims is prioritized, and shelter services are provided at no cost. A challenge remains in protecting victims who are unwilling to utilize shelter services.

The Gauteng Provincial Government funds shelters for victims of crime and violence, ensuring that no victim is turned away due to lack of space. If a shelter is full, victims are accommodated in other facilities within the province. The shelters also support the LGBTIQA+ community, providing them with services and legal assistance through partnerships with local universities and law clinics. Additionally, the shelters offer skills development programs, such as beautician and hospitality training, and provide starter packs to help victims start their own businesses. Specific funding is allocated for these skills development initiatives to address the individual needs of victims.
