Eastern Cape rape activist, Thokozile Budaza, is one of almost 30 participants in our inter-disciplinary short course on Women’s Health, Empowerment and Masculinities – a partnership between MenEngage Africa, Sonke Gender Justice and the University of California Global Health Institute’s Centre of Expertise on Women’s Health and Empowerment. In her reflection about her participation, Budaza speaks of how the course has helped her understand the importance of working with men and boys to end the scourge of rape in the communities where she works.
