    "content": "indicating that one in every three women will experience sexual or physical violence in their lifetime; noting that according to the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), gender-based violence includes: Sexual, physical, mental and economic harm inflicted in the public or private and may involve threats of violence, coercion and manipulation in the form of intimate partner violence, sexual violence, child marriage and Female Genital Mutilation (FGM); further noting that timely response to and effective post management of GBV incidences is critical in the curbing the effects of those incidences to victims; concerned that at present there are inadequate GBV response centres and shelters in the country with limited resources being provided for victims seeking assistance; further concerned that there are inadequate rehabilitation and reintegration programmes for victims and perpetrators of GBV; recognising that victims of GBV as well as perpetrators require specialised professional assistance for full reintegration into the community; this House, therefore, resolves that the Government, through the relevant Ministry, should establish a national fund to ensure that all survivors of GBV have adequate, timely and unhindered access to quality services that meet their needs."
