The summit seeks to take stock of the progress made by SA towards gender equality and socio-economic inclusion of women and map the way forward to position South African women at the centre of the African Union agenda.

“As Africa for Africa’s Women, we operate across the continent, we always host this conference, I mean, but this one is different because it is also a 30-year celebration in SA and is necessary that we take a review of what has happened in the past 30 years. However, we must not only stop at that, we need a review as well, and to look ahead at what is possible. We know that we are now within the government of national unity voted for, for the first time in our country. And we're looking forward to ensuring that our government is accountable in terms of driving transformation because we've got very good policies. And therefore, once we're doing that, we also want to celebrate women who have made strides during these past 30 years,” Africa for Africa Women’s President Bea Hackula said.
