Stakeholders in the province’s green industry responded to the virtual launch of the Empowerment of Women in the Green Industry Policy Assessment Report that aims to increase women leadership and participation in the green industry.

BTE Renewables director Libby Hirshon said they fully supported the gender mainstreaming strategy in the report, as it not only aimed to achieve gender equality, but also to achieve women empowerment.

“As far as we are aware, this assessment clarifies the economic and social barriers facing women in the economy and allows for clarity of focus on how to address these and ensure that the goal of gender equality is met,” said Hirshon. “Increasing the advancement and empowerment of women as green entrepreneurs and professionals will grow socio-economic impact and the societal fabric of our communities towards a more equitable future for all.“

“The City’s Sustainable Energy Markets Department, which looks at the future of energy and our response to climate change, is more than 60% female. This sector is growing and presents many opportunities for job creation and business development, and we encourage women and youth to enable themselves to participate in this forward-looking industry,” said Mahomed-Weideman.
