To celebrate the Women’s Month, Minister of Social Development Ms Bathabile Dlamini will tomorrow, 26 August 2011 spend the day in dialogue with a group of women and young girls at the historical Freedom Square in Kliptown, Soweto.
As part of the programme, the Minister will introduce women driving the social development agenda in the country. This includes the Deputy Minister of Social Development, Mrs Maria Ntuli, CEO of South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) Ms Virginia Petersen and CEO of the National Development Agency (NDA), Ms Vuyelwa Nhlapo.
The purpose of this dialogue is to provide opportunities for young women from disadvantaged communities to interact with women leaders and to inform them of various government opportunities.
The event is coordinated by the National Development Agency which to date has a list of 350 active funded projects with about 80% of them run by women. These projects are pivotal in creating job opportunities and enabling women to participate in the economic mainstream, thus promoting sustainable livelihoods initiatives.
Minister Dlamini will also make announcement on measures regarding inter-country adoptions as well as interact with members of the media on the recent Human Rights Watch report, which highlights human rights violations in the farming communities in the Western Cape province. Minister Dlamini will also hand out blankets to child-headed households.
Members of the media are invited to attend and cover the event.
The full details of the event are as follows:
Date: Friday, 26 August 2011
Time: 10h00
