The Select Committee on Women Children and Persons with Disabilities, having considered the subject of the Annual Reports 2007/08 and 2008/ 09 of the Commission on Gender Equality, referred to it by the National Council of Provinces on the 22 September 2010, reports as follows:

 

The committee finds that due to the long passage of time that has lapsed between the review period of the report and its tabling, and new developments have occurred between those financial years.

 

The information contained in the report is relevant, and could be used as a reference document to interrogate the challenges and problems encountered by the Commission on Gender Equality. 

 

This would assist the committee in their engagements with the 2009/10 annual report to analyse the extent to which they have addressed the ongoing ‘crisis’ within this institution.  

 

The committee further notes that the Commission on Gender Equality has been late in tabling annual reports and requests that this not be repeated in future.

 

 

 

Report to be considered.
