Sonke Gender Justice

Sonke uses the term womxn to encompass an inclusive term and avoid sexism and exclusion connotated by the inclusion of ‘man’ or ‘men’ in the spelling of ‘woman’ and ‘women’ – challenging the binaries that such terminology perpetuates. Womxn includes all people who identify as womxn, including gender non-conforming womxn and trans-womxn.
