"Elise has come to the centre for counseling, medical care and, if she chooses, legal aid. Isange, which means “You are among yours”, is a holistic hub for survivors of gender-based violence where all services are provided under one roof and are free of charge. The centre hosts social workers, psychologists, doctors and investigators from the Rwanda Investigation Bureau. If it’s not safe for survivors to return home, there’s also a place where they can stay. The centre is run by three Rwandan ministries – health, justice, and gender and family promotion – along with the National Police. It initially began as a pilot in 2009 but the model has since expanded across the country to 44 sites – one centre in every district hospital."
