WWSOSA is a coalition of organisations, churches and survivor support groups that are working in the faith sector to conscientise faith leaders and faith comunities to take sexual and gender based violence more seriously, respond appropriately to SGBV survivors, offer safe spaces, and also to speak out against SGBV in their teachings and practices. We believe the faith sector has infrastructure and persuasive influence that should be harnessed in the struggle to end sexual and gender based violence in South Africa.
