Key Focus Areas
Gender Agenda
At Skills Junction, Gender equality is central to our work - We uphold gender equality throughout our organisational policies, systems and practices. The Gender agenda is enshrined in our organisational values, project initiatives and operational practices. Skills Junction leverages tailored gender solutions adapted to different socio-cultural contexts in order to challenge structures perpetuating gender inequalities. The commitment of resource and support for gender responsive and transformative activities include but not limited to:
- Training in gender sensitisation
- Career development
- Talent management
- Compensation and benefits
- Management and leadership appointments
- Business development
Gender-Based Violence
Violence directed against people because of their gender is the most severe form of discrimination and remains part of everyday life for too many living in South Africa today. Gender-based violence is a violation of fundamental rights that goes beyond the remits of criminal law and touches upon many policy fields from public health to education. Our support in this area therefore covers various initiatives such as:
- Training of professionals in close contact with victims/or offenders
- Support for victims of domestic and gender-based violence
- Advocacy, awareness-raising and capacity building activities on gender-based and sexual harassment
