You can also consider putting down the steps one should undertake if he/she is abused. This can be disseminated during community sensitization forums. Something else, I have seen happening is cases of abuse not reported for the sake of protecting the perpetrator's reputation if especially it's a family member. I feel there is need of creating awareness to the community members on the danger of covering up for gender violence incidences.
