One-Stop Crisis Cell
|
|
Nine One-Stop Crisis Centers (OCCs) in Dhaka, Rajshahi, Chittagong, Sylhet, Barisal, Khulna, Rangpur, Faridpur and Cox's Bazar Medical College Hospitals are being run by the Multi-Sectoral Programme on Violence Against Women. These OCCs are located at the Divisional level so major portion of violence against women and children cannot be able to come in to these centers. To extend the support for Women and Children victims of violence around the country 67 One-Stop Crisis Cell (OCC) were established including 47 in District Sadar Hospitals and 20 in Upazila Health Complexes.
