Beyond Inequalities: Women in South Africa
Bellville, South Africa and Harare, Zimbabwe:
UWC-Gender Equity Unit and SARDC-WIDSAA,
1997

Beyond Inequalities is a 13 part series which profile the status of women in Southern Africa and the initiatives being made to mainstream gender in development processes in the region. This profile documents and analyses information along themes drawn from the Critical Areas of Concern identified in the Beijing platform for action (PFA) derived from what South Africa considers to be national priorities. South Africa identified five major areas of national priority: women and violence, poverty, health, education and economic empowerment. The main objectives of the profile are to provide information which would make visible the position of women in South Africa, the contributions women make to national development and to highlight the spheres in which women's needs and concerns are still not sufficiently taken into account.
Gender Equity Unit - University of Western Cape's goals are to develop a statistical profile of the gender composition of the workplace at the university of Western Cape, to analyse the position of women on campus in all aspects of university life, including decision-making structure, appointments, promotions, research and teaching.
