Gender-based violence (GBV) is a pervasive issue in Nairobi, Kenya, affecting women disproportionately. The analysis draws on qualitative data from interviews with GBV survivors and police officers to evaluate the support centers' functionality and impact. The analysis indicates that while Gender-Based Violence Support Centers play an important role in supporting survivors, improvements are needed in their operational efficiency and coordination with other support services. Enhanced training for police officers on GBV protocols and increased collaboration between the centers and legal aid organizations are recommended to improve service delivery.
