Through the Bantu Women’s League, she fought for the rights of women, particularly the demeaning practice of white employers forcing black women to undergo medical examinations before being employed. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
A degree certificate hanging on the wall is not the end of the line. Â Were this the case, Charlotte Maxeke would have returned home to South Africa and settled down to a quiet life. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
To capacitate women, we must deal decisively with the residues of patriarchy, conservative attitudes and chauvinism that restrain women in the structures of the ANC. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
And it is women who must take their rightful place in the political life of our country. Fulfilling our promises to our people calls for capable, ethical and competent cadres at the helm. We have many such women leaders in this organization. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Women academics must be at the forefront of research and enquiry into the pressing social problems of the day; research that will guide our national response to pressing issues such as poverty, inequality and underdevelopment. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As we know, last year we announced that 40% of public procurement will be set aside for women-owned businesses. Â It is women, especially young women, who must take up opportunities provided through the Presidential Employment Stimulus Programme. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Women’s education must play a catalytic role in their economic empowerment which is a longstanding objective of our movement and the government it leads. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This means we have to work even harder in the post COVID-19 era. Broadening access to education for women should lead them to play leading roles in academia, in business and in government. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
According to the report, the economic downturn brought about by the pandemic has impacted women more severely than men. It has also set back gender parity by as much as a decade. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
In areas such as wage equality for similar work we have done less well, and this is also a burning matter the ANC must address. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We have fared well in some areas of economic participation & opportunity, including labour force participation & the number of female professional and technical workers. Â In the latter category we actually rank 1st, with 53% of such workers being female. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Last week the World Economic Forum (WEF) published its annual Gender Gap Report. Â It ranks 156 countries based on gender disparities in economic participation and opportunity; educational attainment; health and survival, and political empowerment. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Women’s education must play a greater role in supporting our national development, particularly in the post COVID-19 period. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The task before us now is to harness the potential of higher education for the advancement of women, who make up more than half of our society. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It was left beneath so its steps could be ascended by the next generation. Â Not only did her example inspire activists like Sibusisiwe Makhanya, Bertha Gxowa and many others, she also lured many other young women to climb the ladder of academia. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As we celebrate her, we also salute her altruistic spirit. Â When she climbed the ladder of success, she did not pull it up. When she was a student at Wilberforce she arranged opportunities for other African students to study there. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Women’s rights and gender equality has been mainstreamed. It is no longer a source of wonderment to see a woman Minister, a woman CEO, or a woman postgraduate, as it was in Ms. Maxeke’s time. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The ANC Women’s League continues to play an important role in advocating for the rights of women both inside and outside the organization. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The progressive and pro-women policies of the ANC and its government have levelled the playing field for women, enabling them to take their rightful place across our society.  This is in no small part due to the activism of the ANC Women’s League. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
There is indeed much work to still be done.  But it does not detract from our great sense of pride at the greater representation of women in professional fields compared to what they were during Charlotte Maxeke’s time. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We must continue to work with communities to overcome discriminatory practices like taking young girls out of school early to work in the home, to care for the sick, or to prepare them for marriage. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As is already being done through the National Strategic Plan to Combat Gender-based Violence and Femicide, we must work harder to make places of learning safe for women and free of violence. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This is not limited to places of higher learning. Girls in school are more likely to experience sexual harassment and sexual assault, including from teachers. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As we have done so as an organization, we must continue to loudly demonstrate our intolerance for the terrible practice of sex for marks, that turns universities and colleges into dens of exploitation of young female students. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
As an ANC government, we have to look at discriminatory practices within academia itself, such as lack of adequate advancement opportunities for women, and pay disparities between male and female academics. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Women account for 59% of total student headcount enrollments at South African universities and of these, the majority are African women. At postgraduate level, women account for 58% of enrollments. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
On equitable access to higher education we are also doing comparatively well. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Of last year’s matriculation results more girls attained Bachelor’s and Diploma passes, as well as more passes with distinction. Girls also produce more passes in the Department’s Second Chance Matric Programme. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
With regards to primary education, 86% of girls attend primary school. Data from the Department of Basic Education indicates that girls are also more likely to finish school. https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Twenty-seven years into democracy, we have made significant strides in closing the gender parity gap in education. Â #CharlotteMaxeke150 https://t.co/N5tA818dyv — PolitiTweet.org
