The Commission for Gender Equality is preparing a “robust” submission on the draft Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Bill that aims to address the challenges of sex workers and ensure their protection.
The CGE uses engagements such as public education campaigns, gender mainstreaming workshops, community radio stations, printed education material and media to ensure access to their services.
The commission seeks to influence policy and legislation through submissions to parliament with proposals and inputs on changes to legislation. “The adoption of sexual harassment policies in the private sector has created an enabling environment for employees, irrespective of race, gender and disability. This is a progressive step to realise gender equality at work,” Mazibuko said.“We make provisions for LGBTI+ rights in our submissions to parliament and we hold similar dialogues through public education and information to educate communities about inclusivity and respect for human rights of marginalised groups.
