Putting Feminism on the Agenda

From the 22nd to 24th of November 2006, Women'sNet, in partnership with the Centre for Applied Legal Studies at Wits University and the University of Victoria - Canada - International Human Rights Project, hosted a workshop and a two day conference with the theme "Putting Feminism On the Agenda". The focus of the conference was to explore ways of promoting women's and girl's rights in South Africa. The girls discussed issues such as customary law, reproductive rights and violence against women in rural areas. The young women's comments brought together a collection of young South African women's opinions.
