In this time of uncertainty, there’s a fundamental truth that gives us hope – that together we can do extraordinary things. Over the past year and a half, the entire world has been coming together to stand up, help out, and give back. Whether through donations to community organizations, celebrating doctors and nurses at shift changes, or reaching out to a neighbour to help with groceries, generosity has been helping the entire world get through this global pandemic. Together.
Sonke Gender Justice is participating in GIVINGTUESDAY TODAY, the Global Day of Unity and Giving. In an effort to curtail the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments around the world put in place lockdown measures that have restricted movement, with citizens being advised to stay at home and observe social distancing. The pandemic and the related lockdown measures worsened vulnerabilities for gender-based violence and magnified existing structural problems such as poverty, inequality, crime, high unemployment and systematic criminal justice failures.
Sonke Gender Justice aims to be part of the solution. Our mission is to strengthen the capacity of governments, civil society, and citizens to advance gender justice and women's rights, prevent gender-based violence and reduce the spread of HIV and the impact of AIDS, and in this way contribute to social justice and the elimination of poverty.
But we can’t do this without you!
Not only do we need your support, but we also need your help to spread the word. Please tell your friends and family why you believe in our work and encourage them to support us too!
