The goal and objective, therefore, is to achieve the constitutional milestone of creating a society based on the principles of equality, justice, human dignity and nonsexism. An achievement to this effect is the establishment of the Department of Women, Children and People with Disabilities by the democratic government of South Africa. The mandate of this department is to co-ordinate, monitor and facilitate the realisation of the rights of women, children and people with disabilities, working with other departments and civil society.
