With UN Support, Puntland Launches Database System to Track Gender-Based Violence Cases
Format
Garowe – The process of registering, tracking and recording gender-based violence (GBV) cases in Somalia’s northern Federal Member State of Puntland is expected to improve following the launch today of a United Nations-backed, specialized online database.
“This will help the Attorney General’s Office to strictly monitor repeated and multiple GBV cases, which have become prevalent recently,” Puntland’s Deputy Attorney General, Mohamed Hared, said today at the launch in Garowe, the state’s capital.
“The Attorney General’s sub-offices in four regions in Puntland – Mudug, Nugal, Karkar and Bari – will benefit from the initial phase of the database project, with these regions no longer needing to use the manual registration methods [for GBV] that are common across Puntland,” Mr. Hared added.
