Social services support for women in Eswatini

Eswatini has ensured that there exist social services facilities to assist the victims of sexual gender-based-violence (GBV). One Stop Centres are housed in the following referral hospitals: Mbabane Government Hospital in the capital, Raleigh Fitkin Memorial Hospital in the commercial city of Manzini and Lubombo Referral Hospital in the sugar-belt town of Siteki. All the social services are offered under one roof.
