‘While we applaud the great strides made in capacitating women and putting them on an equal footing, this month shines a spotlight on the continued social issues women face. I want to encourage our women to take up the opportunities offered by the city such, as the Women for Change programme, which gives them the opportunity to play a more active role in their communities,’ said mayoral committee member for community services and health Patricia Van der Ross.

The women are drawn from across the city and placed in schools, clinics, libraries, early childhood development centres and NGOs, where they are trained to deal with substance abuse and gender-based violence issues and also trained in entrepreneurship, conflict resolution and first aid. In the past year, the SDECD has distributed R3m in grand-in-aid funding to gender-based programmes run by women’s shelters.

‘There are a number of opportunities available to our residents throughout the year and I want to encourage women to fully exploit these. I also want to remind them of the many free services offered by our clinics, including screening for cervical and breast cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, sexually-transmitted infections, as well as TB and HIV testing and treatment.
