Today, 10 December 2020, marks the end of the @UN_Women international 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence campaign. However, Gibela wants every member of society to not let this put a stop to us advocating for women’s and children's rights. #16Days#GibelaTeam
Thokozani Mabuya, head of HR at Gibela, has the following message to share today:
“Gibela has discussed the importance of responding to the specific needs of women and girls at work, in our communities and in society at large – and the dire circumstances many women and girls find themselves in at the hands of fellow human beings and men, in particular.
“The challenges faced by women are not only centred around the commonly quoted calamities such as gender-based violence but also extend to other areas that are not commonly mentioned, including the immense barriers women face in accessing income-generating opportunities.
“Gibela has stressed the importance of not only meeting these needs, but also ensuring that we are grounding our support and interventions in strategies that build resilience among women and empower them – with the objective of creating a just and egalitarian society.
“Together, with willing minds and hearts, we must continue to work towards creating and maintaining a safe and enabling environment for women to thrive and constructively express themselves at work and beyond.” #16Days#GibelaTeam
