Key focus areas
Our member organisations and individuals have their own programmes and advocacy. Together as the WWSOSA Coalition, we agree to also work together.
Our strategies, activities and advocacy are centred on:
- Pillar 1: Supporting a vibrant, growing and vocal movement of survivors of sexual and gender-based violence.
- Pillar 2: Sensitising and equipping faith leaders to become advocates to end sexual and gender-based violence and survivor stigma.
- Pillar 3: Undertaking joint advocacy initiatives and campaigns.
- Pillar 4: Engaging men and boys, together with women and girls, as allies to end sexual and gender-based violence.
How we work
By working together, we create impact for:
- Survivors of sexual and gender-based violence create support groups and structures and are able to speak out in public spaces.
- Advocacy: Faith leaders are challenged and enabled to speak out against sexual and gender-based violence.
- Faith Communities: Faith communities become safer spaces for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence
- Allies: Men and boys are engaged as allies, together with women and girls, in the struggle against sexual and gender-based violence.
The work WWSOSA does contributes directly or indirectly to:
- South African National Strategic Plan on GBVF
- SADC Gender Protocol
- African Union focus on the Agenda 2063 – the Africa We Want
- Global Sustainable Development Goals
