RE: Social Mobilization Workshop Dear stakeholder On behalf of the partners of the SANAC Men’s Sector and Brothers for Life, I hereby write to inform you of the plan by the aforementioned partners to host a social mobilization workshop on the 30 July 2013, time 09h00 to 15h30, Venue: Parktonian Hotel in Braamfontein. The workshop is preparatory towards the National Men’s Rally, a first of its kind seeks to mobilise up to 50 000 men from all walks of life to join together in proclaiming their stance against all kinds of violence and their commitment to curbing the spread of violence and diseases in our communities. This intervention forms part of the of the programme that started with the national dialogue with men hosted by the Deputy President, Hon Kgalema Motlhanthe in April this year. In addition to the above, the rally seeks to mobilise men across South Africa to take up the challenge of knowing their HIV status, promote health seeking behaviours such as Medical Male Circumcision and create violence free homes and communities. The rally aims to provide a platform to thousands as a show of solidarity to the women of South Africa currently under siege as well as lead by example in the uptake of HIV testing and other services. The theme “NOT IN MY NAME” seeks to address the fact that a large majority of men do not commit acts of abuse but are however seen as silent on this issue. It seeks to get this majority not only to speak out against gender based violence but to actively demonstrate where they stand on the issue as well as the issues of family and community health and welfare by completely rejecting gender inequalities, violence, rape perpetuated by some men in our communities. RSVP to Mbulelo Dyasi on 011 339 35 89 mobile: 0792906865 email: [email protected] Sincerely yours, Bafana Khumalo (Rev.) Chairperson of the SANAC Men’s sector
