'BUDGET FOR WOMEN'

Cape vroue klap potte en panne to raise their voices

- GENEVIEVE SERRA

KAAPSE women banged pots and pans in protest outside Parliament yesterday, demanding a “budget for the women” as Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana delivered his budget speech.

Organised under the guidance of the Ubuntu Rural Women and Youth Movement, the demonstration aimed to shine a spotlight on critical needs, including much-needed funding for social support systems directly affecting women’s lives.

The group included various organisations such as Sisterhood Teens Movement, Sisterhood Movement, Gugulethu Backyarders, Community Women in Action, Alcardo Andrews Lerato Family Foundation, Women from Doringbaai to Bonteheuwel Walking Ladies, and others.
