As well as, the response services include focused individual PSS, referral to other humanitarian services according to the service mapping and referral pathway, and finally case fund in the form of in-kind assistance and cash targeting the most vulnerable women and girls.
 WGSSs-based awareness raising (AR) program for women and adolescent girls using the GBV AR toolkit (TK).
