The event will be used to interrogate the role that women should play in the broader struggle to build a classless society that does not discriminate people based on gender. Discussions will also focus on the fight to end the scourge of Gender Based Violence [GBV], the National Women’s Day programme scheduled to take place on the 9^th August 2020 that will largely influence the content programme for the 16 days of activism against women and children abuse in December 2020.

Participants to this historic event will be female leaders of the national union drawn from the nine provinces, invited guests from the tripartite alliance, and the Mass Democratic Movement [MDM] structures.
