In 2012, Sonke and the Democratic Governance and Rights Unit, UCT (DGRU) submitted a complaint to the Commission on Gender Equality on the lack of gender transformation of the judiciary. The CGE released an Investigative report in 2016.
In July 2018, the Commission gazetted its recommendations and is available here (see page 80 onwards). Importantly, the Commission recommends a National Summit as next steps.
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.
