We must instil progressive values in society to address the challenges of gender, class and race. Advocating and promoting the policy of establishing a women's Ministry and the implementation of 50/50 gender parity policies were not easy - even women from the ruling party had to fight for that Ministry. This Ministry would not have been there if the women of the ruling party did not fight for it. That is why in the Multiparty Women's Caucus we are saying: "Let us look at the things that are not assisting us as South African women." We cannot fight to have a women's Ministry, but then other women do not take care of it and are not forcing their parties to do so.
