Project Overview
The United Nations Trust Fund (UNTF) Safe at Home, Safe in Relationships is a multi-partner, multi-country project that has been implemented since January 2020 and will end in May 2023. The project, led by Sonke Gender Justice (Sonke) has been implemented across South Africa and eSwatini in partnership with SWAGGA and Mosaic. The project’s overall goal is for women and girls living in these three project sites, and Southern Africa more broadly, to experience safer, more equitable, and respectful relationships with their male partners and community members. The project aimed to achieve its goals by providing capacity building to individuals, including women and girls, men and boys, and community members around harmful social and cultural norms, and their linkage to Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) through gender transformation workshops, community outreach events, and the strengthening of referral networks and IPV legislation and policy.
