About Sonke
Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is a pervasive issue in Lesotho, significantly impacting the lives of LGBTQI+ communities, cishet women and girls. Several contextual factors contribute to the prevalence of GBV in the country. In recent years, the government of Lesotho, alongside various civil society organizations and international partners, has taken significant steps to put in place supportive laws and policies, and to oversee implementation of various interventions to address GBV and protect the rights of its citizens against GBV. Despite the progress made, more efforts are still required to address GBV in Lesotho, more particularly among groups of LGBTQI+ communities, cishet women and girls which are disproportionately victims.
About the Position
USAID/Khutlo Activity took a study to collect and analyze preliminary information related to LGBTQI+ policies and rights, attitudes, and experiences, and GBV prevention, mitigation, and response services in Lesotho. To this end, in consideration of expanding the information, outreach and local ownership of the research findings, USAID/Khutlo Activity intends to translate the research findings from English to Sesotho.
