Today on Sakhisizwe we played best interviews from our 2007 archives. We played an interview I had with Marietta De Vaal – Head of Research Unit from the Commission on Gender Equality. The commission conducts workshops and Gender Dialogues throughout the country as a means of reaching out to the community and at the same time change the mind sets of those members of the society that need education in relation to gender equality.

The aim is to create awareness and visualize transgenderism. For more information about the Gender DynamiX you can contact Liesel at 083 3207691 or visit www.genderdynamix.org.za
