** Sonke Gender Justice suspends a staff member on allegations of sexual assault
------------------------------------------------------------


** For Immediate Release
------------------------------------------------------------

Sonke has noted allegations of one of its staff members who is alleged to have committed a sexual offence against a young woman in the Western Cape.

Sonke Gender Justice views this matter in a serious light and has suspended the staff member with immediate effect while it investigates and will ensure that the individual is held accountable for the crime.

This act is in violation of our own policies and undermines our commitment to end the scourge of violence against women. We trust that the criminal justice system will deal with this matter and ensure that justice is done.

As an organization, we will also reach out and offer the necessary support to the victim and her family.
