Gender - Closing the 16 Days of activism against Gender based violence campaign with a street soccer festival!!!
Today we spoke to Leo Mbobi – from the Sonke Gender Justice. Yesterday Sonke hosted a street soccer festival as part of the 16 Days of activism against Gender based violence. The festival was co-ordinated by Leo who says they hoped to harness the energy around the sport to get men to look at issues that are important in our communities. During the festival they talked to people, especially men and boys, about testing for HIV and taking ARVs, and stopping violence against women and children. Leo explained more about the outcome of the festival. For more information about Sonke Gender Justice and the activities they have contact their offices on (021) 423 7088 or visit www.genderjustice.org.za
