At this time of season-change, we in the faith sector are also feeling the winds of change – These are exciting times!

Join us for this month’s Interfaith GBV Forum where we will unveil the Interfaith GBV Prevention and Mitigation Strategy 2024-2030.

The strategy has emerged from a 6-month organic consultation process amongst diverse faith sector scholars, activists and leaders, as well as NGOs working in the faith sector.

It is an attempt to unite a growing progressive faith sector movement that has recognised the seriousness of gender-based violence in all its forms, including femicide as well as spiritual abuse. GBV is perhaps the most fundamental and enduring social challenge in South Africa today, and one that faith institutions ignore to our peril.

We need your submissions to shape the final Strategy, which you can read by following this link:

If you can, please set aside time to engage and bring your thoughts to the meeting.

We will also discuss how you can take the draft strategy into your faith context, obtain feedback and send submissions to contribute to the final revisions, ready for the STRATEGY 2030 LAUNCH on 3^rd October in Johannesburg.

(If you are unable to attend, please feel free to send your submissions to coordinator@wwsosa.org.za or programmes@wwsosa.org.za) .
