The Commission, in collaboration with the Dept. of Higher Education & Training and Higher Health, will embark on a stakeholder outreach following a sexual harassment report released by CGE in October 2024 with alarming findings of sexual harassment and abuse at higher education institutions. The report flagged several concerning matters, including “sex-for-accommodation” and “sex-for-marks”, as particularly troubling trends. Furthermore, between 2014 and 2024, the Commission engaged institutions of higher learning on their transformation efforts in these spaces. The stakeholder outreach aims to raise awareness and assist higher education institutions to implement measures to improve safety for all. Join the launch virtually or follow it live to find out more about the outreach programme. Virtual participation link: https://lnkd.in/dENjUMSE

While various policies are in place to address and progress women’s economic empowerment in the labour market, such as the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act (PEPUDA), National Development Plan (NDP), National Framework for Women's’ Empowerment and Gender Equality, and the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act (Act No. 53 of 2003), among others, the Commission's report, "Women in the South African Economy" findings indicate that the progress is slow as women continue to be disadvantaged. The CGE commissioned a report on this important topic. Read the report as you listen to our Spokesperson on Capricorn FM tonight: https://cge.org.za/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Women-in-the-South-African-Economy_Website-1.pdf Tune in on: https://www.capricornfm.co.za/stream/
