In an era characterised by many challenges and opportunities, the theme Accelerating Socioeconomic Opportunities for Women’s Empowerment for this Women's Month, resonates deeply. Women's socioeconomic rights include the right to access economic opportunities, health care, education and freedom from abuse and discrimination.

As South Africa has committed to the globally agreed sustainable development goals, which include the furtherance of gender equality by 2030, it is crucial to prioritise the empowerment of women, recognising that their growth is the cornerstone of societal advancement.
