The department’s Director-General, Mikateko Maluleke says, “Today the theme focusses on pillar five of the National Strategic Plan on gender-based violence and femicide. You know that the President launched the NSP on GBV so pillar five focusses on economic power, so we’ve realised that women will not walk away from the abuser if they are not economically empowered.”
“So the first focus is to empower women to walk away, but secondly, it is to empower women as women who are also supposed to be involved in businesses. Government always speaks about empowering women, however, even if you involve women in manufacturing, if you don’t create the market for women to go and sell their products they still end up poverty-stricken, sitting there with all that.”Umlazi
