3 December - Gender

In today's show, we heard from commissioner Yvette Abrahams speaking to my producer Mishkah Anthony together with the National Parliament Deputy Speaker, Nozizwe Madlala_Routledge. Mishkah was part of the Women’s Place consultative meeting that was hosted by the Gender commission, Engender and other women-focused organisations in Parliament under the theme “Women’s spaces, women’s voices, women connecting”. The Women’s Place is a collaboration of various women-focused partners, including Parliament and legislatures, government, civil society, trade unions, academia and the corporate sector with the purpose of providing a platform for women to be acknowledged and honoured for their roles.
