After the session, 100 percent believed that they should interfere. Pre- /post-test results for participants in a training-of-trainers session for partner organizations in the Eastern Cape and Kwazulu-Natal Provinces show that before the training, 88 percent of trainers from partner organizations believed that men should have the final say in their relationships. After the session, 100 percent believed that men do not have the final say in their relationships. Ninety-four percent of respondents believed that it was not their business to interfere in other people’s relationships, even if there is violence. At the end of the session, 100 percent felt it was their business to interfere. • Case studies: These are currently in development. Replication and Scale-up Activities • There are plans to replicate this project once the model has been fully developed, implemented and tested, though this will in part depend upon funding. LESSONS LEARNED AND CHALLENGES Key Findings and Lessons • There has been significant support from key members of the municipality in Nklanda, and the mayor in particular has helped enormously in marketing the project. Support was also gained from traditional and religious leaders. Strong relationships were built with local media in OR Tambo, including the local community radio and newspaper. • In Nkandla, the municipality has explicitly acknowledged the importance of male involvement in addressing issues of HIV and AIDS and violence against women and children, and expressed a commitment to establish projects that support men’s role in these issues. Municipality staff report that the project enabled them for the first time to understand the importance of male involvement to community and child development. • Gender transformative and ecological approaches are important aspects of an HIV gender program. In other words, Sonke’s work focuses not just on reaching men but on changing men’s perceptions of gender roles to promote greater gender equality and social justice. Sonke’s work is based on an understanding that individuals are shaped by a range of forces—culture, tradition, religion, family, the media, the workplace, government laws, and policies—and that to effect and sustain change, interventions have to address many of these forces simultaneously. Challenges and Unforeseen Outcomes • Sonke, established in August 2006, is a relatively new organization. As a recent start-up, Sonke had to work hard to set up financial and administrative processes and procedures while also implementing project work. This challenge was compounded by the fact that few donors are willing to provide core support to new programs—a phenomenon that makes it extremely difficult for new NGOs to survive. 118
Recommendations for Replication • It is important to involve men who are leaders (religious leaders, community leaders, etc.) in thinking about issues of gender-based violence from the onset of the project. While it may be easier to reach men on the street corner, it is more important to work with men who can influence community attitudes. • Success is more likely when interventions draw on a range of social change strategies that simultaneously address the many institutions shaping individual and community attitudes and practices. In this sense, Sonke sees workshops as just a starting point to educate and motivate men and women to take action in their communities to address gender and HIV-related challenges. Sonke encourages workshop participants to join CATs that then identify potential solutions to community problems and work together to achieve change. CAT members might, for instance, join school governing bodies to ensure that schools are more proactive in addressing gender and HIV. They might join a community policing forum to strengthen the criminal justice system response to domestic and sexual violence; they might set targets for the number of men who should be involved in home-based care; or they might conduct community education and outreach on issues related to safe sex or domestic and sexual violence. In other words, the organization stresses the importance of taking action beyond just holding workshops.
