Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House - 1) notes that 8 March 2011 is the International Day for Women's Rights;
2) recognises the considerable gains that have been made in a democratic South Africa in advancing the rights of women;
3) further recognises that, despite the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic, a large number of women in our country still encounter discrimination based on their gender and many more remain trapped in a cycle of poverty;
4) condemns all forms of sexism and violence against women; and
5) calls upon all South Africans to respect and recognise our constitutionally enshrined values of nonsexism.
Agreed to.
