Women's Rights


Med_womenprotest Women's rights are those basic human rights that tradition, prejudice, and social, economic, and political interests have combined to relegate to "special interest" status within the human rights framework, which women are working to redress. These include changing the understanding of human rights to reflect more gender nuanced definitions, as well as promoting gender-specific rights such as reproductive rights, and advancing the protection and respect for women's rights.

Change In Action

Global Sisterhood Network largely consists of feminists from around the world who work hand-in-hand, irrespective of class,colour or creed,in a collaborative effort to create improved lives for women.

Gender Advocacy Programme GAP is an independent, non-governmental advocacy and lobbying organisation based in Cape Town. We see our position as bridging the gap between women in civil society and structures of governance and to increase the participation of women in policy formulation and decision-making. We conduct research and training in order to facilitate, mobilise, link and empower women to lobby for equity between men and women in all spheres of South African society.
