Rural women are key members of their families and communities, but they are not always able to raise their voices.

By promoting gender equality and with the right investment, we can empower them and their communities.

@LoveSwaziland @BarbaraCreecy_ It's not an SA problem. The way informal waste activities are structured everywhere makes it difficult to provide structured support. But we must commend the Department of Environment and various partners in working towards transforming the industry.
