Barometer 2018 Launch Johannesburg

Johannesburg, 07 August: Gender activists from around the region will launch the tenth edition of the SADC Gender Protocol Barometer and the #SheDecidesSouthernAfrica campaign at Constitution Hill on 8 August, the eve of Women’s Day.

“For every step forward on gender equality we have witnessed a step backwards,” noted GL CEO and co-editor of the annual state-of- women in Southern Africa report. “In the year that saw women across the world and our region march for equality, our strong message is that it’s time for women to claim their space, and make their own decisions about their bodies, their work, their relationships and their lives.”
