Women's rights discussion document

The Community Law Centre (CLC) re-produced the document below entitled "Women's Rights-A Discussion Document", to enable popular organisations involved in the struggle for women's rights as well as full gender sensitivity and non-discrimination to focus on the issues which were raised during the conference which took place from November 29 to December 2 1990. The CLC of the University of the Western Cape played a major role in organising the conference. Some of the themes discussed in the conference included, patriarchy, customs and gender, the legal status of South African woman, women and religion and finally, violence and sexual harassment against women. The CLC published this document with the hope that in the process for constitution-making that the issues raised in the conference would not be bypassed or ignored.
