Sonke Gender Justice is a women’s rights organisation committed to
feminist principles using rights-based and gender-transformative approaches to achieve human rights and gender justice. Founded in
2006, Sonke centres on a shared understanding that violence against
women and girls constitutes one of the gravest and most pervasive
human rights violations that undermines our democracies in far-reaching
ways. Our driving motivation remains that the gender inequalities,
harmful norms, and power relations underpinning domestic and sexual
violence are bad for both women and men, and that men and boys
have critical roles in ending violence, transforming gender roles, and
ultimately being part of solutions to achieve gender justice.
Sonke works with community-based organisations, faith-based organisations, United Nations agencies, media, academic institutions, government, international NGOs, private sector, multilateral agencies, international human rights bodies, development partners, and intergovernmental agencies.
In South Africa, Sonke is a registered NGO with offices in the Western
Cape Province (Cape Town and a Wellness Centre in Gugulethu),
Gauteng Province (Johannesburg and Diepsloot), Mpumalanga Province
(Bushbuckridge), and Eastern Cape Province (Butterworth and
East London). Through our partnerships, including as the MenEngage
Africa (MEA) Alliance secretariat, we work in 24 countries across Africa
with offices in Kampala (Uganda), Buea (Cameroon), and Maseru (Lesotho).
