“We have been working together with other UN agencies, as part of the Spotlight Initiative, to ensure that GBV responders are considered as essential service providers during times of crisis, even for COVID-19. So we want to make sure that people know these services [helpline or in-person visits] continue to be made available to them… Let’s not forget that there are other ongoing issues that also need support and our attention!”
