Background
Sonke Gender Justice (Sonke) is a South African-based non-governmental organisation that works across Africa to strengthen government, civil society and citizen capacity to support men and boys in taking action to promote gender equality, prevent domestic and sexual violence, and reduce the spread and impact of HIV and AIDS. Using a human rights framework to achieve gender equality, Sonke endeavours to create the change necessary for all to enjoy equitable, healthy and happy relationships that contribute to the development of just and democratic societies.
Purpose of the Consultancy
Sonke Gender Justice (Sonke) receives a myriad of Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF) cases from all over the country. To ensure that survivors are fully supported from case opening through to the various stages of the criminal justice system, Sonke would like to develop a national referral database for organisations providing support to GBV survivors. This comprehensive document will include organisations with capacities in either or both opening of cases at the SAPS stations, health services to survivors and psychosocial support. The database will also be shared with organisations within Sonke’s networks and incorporated in the GenerationG Engage App, a pilot GBV GBVApp to enable community organisers to keep track of cases and make referrals to provide support to survivors within their jurisdiction and far afield.
Terms of Reference
The consultant shall be responsible for identifying and researching organisations providing support to survivors of GBVF at community, provincial and national levels. The identified organisations should have experience in providing aid at various points in the criminal justice system to ensure the finalisation of GBVF cases and support to survivors. The organisation may be focused on either or both case intakes, health assistance and counselling. The consultant shall be expected to provide a full address, functional contact details and lead persons from the organisation who can be contacted. The consultant will verify the organisations to ensure the organisations are active, their contact details are up to date and the latest address is on record.
Expected Deliverables
Production of a comprehensive database that can be distributed to other civil society networks working in the GBVF space and integrated in the GBVApp. The final outlook of the database shall be discussed between the parties.
Qualification and Experience
At least five years’ experience working within the GBVF sector and have good knowledge of various stages at which organisations may become involved in providing support to survivors.
The consultant must have contacts and networks that shall assist in providing relevant information from across the provinces.
Previous experience in conducting similar work for other organisations will be an advantage.
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
Excellent written and spoken English
Have experience empathetically interacting with victims of violence.
Knowledge of other languages widely spoken in the project implementation sites will be advantageous, such as Xhosa, Zulu, Sesotho and Setswana.
