Health services

If you have been a victim of sexual violence, you need immediate medical attention. To get it, search for a hospital or health care center as soon as possible and — preferably — within 72 hours after the violent situation to receive oral contraception and treatment to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.

We know you’re in a very difficult situation, but it’s very important that you don’t take a bath before being assisted in a health center.

If you’re not comfortable accessing these services unaccompanied, you can reach out to one of the organizations specializing in the care of people victims of sexual and gender-based violence or UNHCR.

Below you can find information about health centers and hospitals that provide comprehensive health care services to victims of gender-based violence.
