Deputy Chair, I have a question on 128. I have asked to be excused from this one.
Question 128:
The DEPUTY MINISTER IN THE PRESIDENCY FOR WOMEN, YOUTH AND PERSONS
WITH DISABILITIES: Chairperson, the gender-based violence and femicide national strategic plan, NSP 2020-30 process, which has been addressed earlier, is in line with various international standards. These standards include, but are not limited to, the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development of 2008, the AU Agenda 2063, the Beijing Platform for Action of 1995, the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, Cedaw, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals on Gender Equality, which is Goal 5. But also - I think - we can include even the UN Conference on the Status of Women which is held annually. Members of Parliament, government, and civil society from South Africa always participate. So, we are working within all those instruments.
And of course, maybe what is important to mention at this point is that we also participate within the multilateral platforms and
contribute. We account and write reports to all these multilateral organisations to talk about the progress we are making, but also domesticate when we come back. This means we'll have a policy and legislation at the national level so that whatever is discussed in terms of those multilateral instruments is implementable here at the local level.
