Commission for Gender Equality launches a public call for society to lodge gender-related complaints

The Commission for Gender Equality is today launching a public education messaging campaign called VELA in collaboration with Dumisa TV (DSTV channel 340), to encourage society who have experienced discrimination on the basis of their gender or sexuality and have not received the assistance they needed from relevant authorities, to come forward and lodge legal complaints with the Commission.
