What is the J-Card and what does it do?

The J-card is simply a ‘stitch in time’ and that’s why survivors are encouraged to break the silence by calling us and should do what they are told to do by HAK immediately after violation. It is important to seek treatment and prevention of infections such as HIV and sexually transmitted infections.  The J-Card protects and enhances GBV survivors’ health security. Since the launch of the J-Card in February 2010, the response is positive. The J-Card has continues to save lives of women and children who experience violence.  And besides, the J-Card has also broken the silence on GBV since late GBV cases, some having been inexistence for four years, have come out. Women and children who had earlier been physically attacked, raped, defiled or survived cruel acts like Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) have come out to seek health assistance.
