I am because you are. I can be me only if you are fully you, for we are all made for togetherness…I have gifts that you don’t have, and you have gifts that I don’t have. We are different in order to know our need of each other. We are made for complementarity. – Desmond Tutu.

Three South African Universities:

University of the Free State Bloemfontein, University of the Western Cape and Stellenbosch University.

In 2015 the first academic research program on Gender Reconciliation was initiated at the University of the Free State, Bloemfontein and now further carried out at Stellenbosch University. This research project is initiated by Professor Pumla Gobodo- Madikizela, a leading scholar in trauma, forgiveness and reconciliation studies and former servant on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa. Together with a group of scholars, including Victory for Equality’s Director Caroline Dusée, we continue doing research on Gender Reconciliation.
