Women-led rooms as a model for specialised services

Women-led rooms created safe spaces, psychosocial support, protection services and GBV referral pathways.

The innovation was structural, not only logistical: separate rooms inside existing structures, staffed and led by women, with their own referral pathway for basic health care and violence cases. Donors should route flexible funding directly to these groups.
