Unemployed women should be trained to produce and supply government-issued sanitary pads - ANCWL





Cape Town - Capacity building programmes for unemployed women on how to produce sanitary pads and run a business to supply government-issued sanitary pads should be offered to primary and high school pupils, the ANC Women’s League has said.

"Government can later source the sanitary towels from women-owned businesses. There are many things like free stationary, free condoms, et al that government is providing but the biggest suppliers of those items remain male-owned businesses, in particular white. Radical socio-economic transformation must be in theory and in practice in all sectors," secretary general Meokgo Matuba said in a statement.

The ANCWL’s comments come after Minister of Women in the Presidency Bathabile Dlamini last week reportedly told Parliament's Multiparty Women's Caucus that pupils will soon receive free pads, IOL reported.
Matuba said government had in the past committed to supply free sanitary towels to girl scholars, but there had been no full implementation in some provinces.  

WOMEN ARE BREADWINNERS REMEMBER!!
THE GOVERNMENT MUST INTERVENE IN THIS GUYS!
POWER TO WOMEN POWER!!

    Big up ANCWL, women need to do their own things that will make them comfortable. The power of women is needed not only for production but for other things.

    Finally it is implemented.
    Whoever came up with this idea is a genius because not all students or girls afford sanitary pads especially those from rural areas.

    Big up to Bathabile Dlamini for finally coming up with strategies to empower women.
    This will help many young girls who are not able to speak up about not having sanitary pads.

#FEESMUSTFALL

                            PAYING ACCORDING TO YOUR INCOME. In December 2017,president Jacob Zuma made a shocking announcement based on #feesmustfall campaign, he claimed that the government will subsidise free higher education for poor and working class students who comes from households with a combined annual income of R350 000 or less, commencing in 2018.
