We have only just returned from the 55th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women, a two-week meeting at the UN headquarters in New York. I'm happy to report that Ms Memela, Deputy Chair of the NCOP; Ms Dorothy Ramodibe, Chair of the Portfolio Committee on Women, Youth, Children and People with Disabilities; and also Ms Mabe, Chair of the Select Committee on Women, Children and People with Disabilities, were part of the South African delegation.
