Commission for Gender Equality is hosting a series of Policy Dialogues

We also heard from Dr Thabo Rapoo - Head of Research for the Commission for Gender Equality. The Commission for Gender Equality is hosting a series of Policy Dialogues with high-level decision makers from selected organs of state, government departments and other key stakeholders in the private and civil society sectors throughout the country. These dialogues aim to create awareness among, and secure concrete commitments from, senior-level policy makers and other stakeholders on how the Commission’s findings and recommendations on gender mainstreaming and promotion of gender equality will be adopted and implemented, and to ensure that effective mechanisms are put in place to enable the Commission to monitor progress towards the achievement of gender equality in South Africa. It will also relay findings and recommendations of the work conducted by the Commission on various areas such as gender equality in the water sector, employment equity, widowhood, education and land reform.
