Commission for Gender Equality continues with gender transformation hearings, 30 Nov to 01 Dec

The Commission for Gender Equality (CGE) will be continuing with gender transformation hearings on 30 November - 01 December 2023. The focus of these hearings will be on the mining sector.

Despite a plethora of legislative frameworks and the amended Mining Charter, compliance with gender transformation in the mining sector remains a concern for the Commission. Through the transformation hearings, the Commission seeks to:

• Assess compliance with employment equity legislation and related policies;
• Address institutional and systematic barriers to economic and gender diversity in the workplace on the progress of women and persons with disabilities;
• Raise awareness on relevant international commitments to gender transformation and the importance of compliance;
• To probe inclusivity and safety mechanism for men, women and person with disability in the mines.

The Mining Companies will appear as follows:
