The film, Can't Just Fold Your Arms, will air at the Encounters Film Festival in June on three screens around the country. It’s a wonderful opportunity for Sonke to tell our story and to educate people about our work engaging men and boys for gender equality.

Honourable chairperson, members of your committee and peace loving people of our country!

Thank you for affording me an opportunity to make this submission. My name is Patrick Godana and my clan name is Gatyeni, therefore I qualify to speak on this matter. I will share some of the experiences a colleague and I encountered when we embarked on public education sessions last week in Mhlontlo, OR Tambo, Alfred Nzo and Amatole (East London) municipal areas.
