Civil society strongly object to the participation process for appointments to the Commission on Gender Equality. https://t.co/dXAGH1KSb7

[Women&Democracy_Initiative @DemocracyWomen]

The CGE has a critical mandate as a Chapter 9 institution, charged with promoting respect for gender equality and its protection, development, and attainment; and to monitor, investigate, research, educate, lobby, advise, and report on issues of gender equality.

[Lawyers for Human Rights @LHR_SA]

LHR is one of 62 orgs and people that signed this joint letter of objection - the @CGE_ZA is an important Chapter 9, and parliament has questioned the performance of current commissioners. The new appointments need careful consideration.
