“The South African-based Sonke Gender Justice and the Brazilian nonprofit Promundo asked more than 1,400 men and women around Goma, in Congo’s North Kivu province, about their attitudes on rape, gender, why they commit sexualized violence, and what the fallout has been for them. According to the researchers, 37 percent of men surveyed said they have raped a woman.”
Sonke is a South African-based non-profit organisation working throughout Africa. We believe women and men, girls and boys can work together to resist patriarchy, advocate for gender justice and achieve gender transformation.
