Parliament has launched a ‘Multiparty Women’s Caucus’ which consists of the female members of the National Assembly and National Council of Provinces.

In a statement released by Parliament it says that the women’s league is aimed at highlighting women’s perspectives while looking for ways to influence discussion of women's issues within Parliament.

The Multiparty Women’s Caucus operates as an advisory representing the interests and concerns of women in Parliament.

The league will be expected to report on their activities to Parliament and will be allowed to submit reports and proposals to the relevant parliamentary forums.
