Hon Speaker, hon Minister, it is important that women are empowered and participate in decision-making positions. How is the legislation going to educate and empower women in order to participate in a meaningful way and not merely rubber-stamp the decisions that have already been made, like in the Central African Republic?
The MINISTER OF WOMEN, CHILDREN AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES: Madam Deputy Speaker, I am not aware that women in the Central African Republic are rubber-stamping anything. However, I would like to say to the hon member, we have committed ourselves to going on road shows, visiting all our provinces and having women's forums, seminars and summits where we are going to educate women and communities about the Women's Empowerment and Gender Equality Bill. We are also going to educate them about women's rights, starting with the Constitution and the laws that have been enacted since 1994, which have empowered the women of this country and ensured that their rights are protected. Thank you, Chairperson.
