Within the framework we conducted surveys and now we are working on building One-stop service centers for victims in three districts and seven provinces where violence occur the most according to our survey result. Previously we have built the service centers in Bayankhongor, Gobi-Altay and Zavkhan aimags, and now we are expanding based on that experience”, said Ms Kitahara.
The purpose of the centers is to provide all necessary services for each case of violence with assistance from health, social care, police, legal and education experts.
