Sonke in partnership with the Bushbuckridge local municipality and the Civil Society Forum, will host a Men’s conference on the 18th of July 2024 in Bushbuckridge, to address the scourge of gender based violence and femicide in the community. This comes after a recent spike of reported cases of human rights violations under the Midland, North & South areas of the municipality.
President Cyril Ramaphosa signed a progressive policy, “The National Strategic Plan on GBVF for South Africa”, an important multistakeholder intervention geared to mobilise society to be engaged in efforts to turn the tide against GBVF. It is with this backdrop that the Men’s conference is convened to mobilise men and boys to come to the party and be counted in efforts to end the scourge in the area.
