In 2007, medica mondiale Liberia constructed and dedicated the Fish Town Women and Girls Center in River Gee. The center was established with the purpose of providing comprehensive support and services to women and girls who have experienced sexualized violence or other forms of gender-based violence. In addition to addressing the immediate needs of survivors, the center also focused on promoting economic empowerment as part of its holistic approach.
