Summary
Description Sonke support at every step (8517636838).jpg |
UK aid is supporting the Sonke Gender Justice programme in South Africa to run 227 men and boys groups on transforming attitudes to girls and women, to tackle the root causes of violence in and out of prison. “Having the support of Sonke outside the prison, assisted me to build that character, to build that confidence, so that I’m moving on from a point of having the theory of the One Man Can programme but also implementing that in my life on a daily basis.”, says Welcome, a former gang member who now champions womens' rights. Background In March 2013 the United Nation's Commission on the Status of Women will meet to discuss how to prevent all forms of violence against women and girls. UK aid is working in 21 countries to address physical and sexual violence against women and girls and will be supporting 10 million women and girls with improved access to security and justice services by 2015.
