During the year 2004, a total of 422 women accessed this service. over one third had relationship problems, 21% depression and 14% suicidal behaviour. nearly half the women reported significant financial problems. Of the 174 married (or cohabiting) women, 94,8% experienced relationship problem, 56,9% reported subtanceabusing partners, and 48,3% reported violent partners, and 51,1% perceived their partners as disengaged while 37% viewed them as oppressive. Clinical estimates revealed notably low self esteem in 65% of the women. We conclude that mental health services and training programmes need to become more cognisant of gender issues to develop gender sensitive interventions.
