- Creating forums in which stakeholders can come together can help to promote gender rights in the workplace
One of the key pillars related to work on Outcome 17 in South Africa was the establishment of a Gender Task Force, comprised of members from three labour unions brought together to organize and promote women’s rights in the workplace.
Prior to its creation, South African union members from different organizations rarely communicated with one another on these issues. This could be extended to employers’ organizations as well.
