With regard to the Traditional Courts Bill, we will continue to work with rural women and other stakeholders to ensure that the provisions of the Bill are consistent with our Constitution and protect the rights of women. Preliminary consultations were conducted and co-ordinated with women, especially rural women, to ensure their maximum participation in deliberations on the Bill. We are confident that, going forward, the inputs and submissions made by the women of South Africa will be considered. As a department, our interest is to ensure that this Bill does not reverse the gains that women have made towards women empowerment and gender equality.
