contents <p>Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a significant issue in Tanzanian rural villages, affecting women disproportionately. Support services are often under-resourced and poorly understood by local communities. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews to assess service availability, utilization rates, and community perceptions of GBV support systems. Findings revealed a 30% gap in GBV services compared to demand, with women over-identifying needs not met by existing resources. Community engagement was weak, with only 25% aware of available services. Current GBV support services are insufficient and poorly promoted in rural Tanzanian villages, necessitating targeted policy interventions to improve service accessibility and community awareness. Implement a tiered training programme for service providers and incorporate GBV prevention education into local schools. Enhance community-led initiatives to bridge the gap between available resources and demand.</p>
