Abstract

Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a critical issue in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya, where high prevalence rates demand effective survivor support. GBV recovery centres (GBVRCs) provide essential medical, legal, and psychological services but face challenges including inadequate funding, limited trained staff, and resource constraints. This study, guided by Ecological Systems Theory, examines the availability and utilization of key resources in GBVRCs. Findings indicate gaps such as lack of referral directories and secure storage for sensitive data, despite some hospitals having trauma documentation and counselling policies. The study recommends a holistic, multi-sectoral approach to enhance resource access, improve utilization, and strengthen collaboration among GBVRCs and partner agencies to ensure comprehensive care for survivors.
