Sonke Gender Justice

Founded in 2006, Sonke is a South African-based non-profit organisation working throughout Africa. The organisation asserts that women and men, girls, and boys in all their diversities can work together to resist patriarchy, advocate for gender justice, and achieve gender transformation. Sonke envisions a world in which violence of any form is socially unacceptable and dramatically reduced; a world in which duty-bearers – multilateral agencies, governments, religious and traditional leaders, the private sector, community leaders – and womxn, men, and gender-non-conforming people take action to address violence.
