Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that South Africa has moved into the top 10 ranking of countries where women face the least discrimination, according to the latest World Economic Forum Global Gender Gap Index;
2) further notes that the World Economic Forum Global Gender Gap Index measures economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, political empowerment, health and survival of women in 134 countries;
3) recognises that postapartheid South Africa stands out as a country with a very progressive stance not only on the representation of women in decision-making structures, but also across all sectors of society; and
4) urges all South Africans to take pride in our achievement as one of the top 10 countries where women face the least discrimination and to recommit ourselves to work even harder in eradicating the remaining attitudes, beliefs, myths and practices that still inhibit the freedom of women.
Agreed to.
