The Commission for Gender Equality (CGE) extends its heartfelt appreciation to the enormous sacrifices made by the Youth of ’76. We say this cognisant of the fact that despite all their sacrifices the current generation of youth are confronted with new challenges. The onus is upon them to write their scripts in history and this can only been done by effectively and decisively dealing with the challenges facing them.
The youth in advancement of gender equality has to deal with issues pertaining to abuses of women and children (Gender-based Violence), sexual violence, human trafficking, scourge of HIV and AIDS etc. In celebration of this momentous occasion, least the youth forget the journey ahead and its many challenges.
The CGE calls upon the youth to make good on the opportune moment tomorrow in recalling the good that came out of the Soweto Uprising and rally around each other in dispelling plenty of stereotypes that are rearing its ugly head in society and unite behind one common goal that of ensuring a better future for all, wherein gender equality will be realised.
