As we continue to celebrate women's month, it has emerged that positive strides have been made as far as women's participation in the labour market. Statistics show that it has dramatically increased in recent decades indicating a relatively high participation compared to South Africa's peers. However there's still concerns that their rights are most at risk in regard to gender equality, with specifc concern surrounding general patterns and forms of unfair discrimination including pay inequality, with women consistently paid less than men for equal work. It is with this in mind, that the institute of justice and reconciliation (IJR) is hosting
a forum on how to create gender just organisations and workplaces. We earlier spoke Ayanda Nyoka, project leader for the inclusive economies project at IJR.
