Regarding women's empowerment and gender equality, we have held consultations with women on a wide range of issues that affect their lives. We hosted a successful national summit for rural women in Tzaneen, Limpopo. I am also pleased to announce that we held provincial consultations with rural women in the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. These summits and engagements seek to ensure that women have the platform to influence government policy on matters that relate to women's empowerment and gender equality.
