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

Sonke Gender Justice proudly marks its 20th anniversary, celebrating two decades of bold and sustained work to advance gender justice, human rights and health equity in South Africa, across the African continent and globally.

Founded in Johannesburg in 2006, Sonke has grown from a small South African initiative engaging men and boys in gender equality into a leading African feminist organisation working with communities, governments, civil society, donors and the private sector.

20 Years of Impact

Over the past two decades, Sonke has advanced gender justice through community mobilisation, advocacy, legal support and research. Key achievements include:
* Reaching millions of people through flagship programmes including One Man Can, MenCare, and Change Trial.
* Advocating for stronger laws, policies, and budgets to prevent gender-based violence, advance sexual and reproductive health and rights, and protect the rights of LGBTIQ+ people, sex workers, and people living with HIV.
* Strengthening access to justice for survivors of gender-based violence through legal support, research, and strategic litigation.
* Producing research and policy analysis that informs national and regional advocacy and advances gender-transformative practice.
