9 4. WHAT DRIVES THE GAUTENG LEGISLATURE MULTI-PARTY WOMEN S CAUCUS? As women legislators increasingly entered parliaments and legislatures in the past two decades, advocacy for the establishment of multi-party women s caucuses to support women parliamentarians entering predominantly patriarchal institutions, have also been common. Particularly since women s caucuses have been proven to be effective in bringing women across party lines together to channel the interests and concerns of women, engage civil society and influence legislative processes and provide oversight over the implementation of programmes that enhance the status of women in their diversity. Against this background, the Gauteng Legislature Multi-Party Women s Caucus is driven by principles that include the following: 4.1. Women s rights are human rights that are inalienable in all spheres of life All human beings are created equal the Caucus will not tolerate discrimination in any form Advocacy for equal rights and justice Advocacy for equal opportunities Economic and socio-political development for women in their diversity In unity, women will not be swayed Advocacy for the elimination of patriarchal values that hinder women s progress Advocacy for gender and human rights-based legislation and enforcing implementation thereof The Caucus influences the legislative agenda through advocacy and raising awareness The Caucus is a watchdog for gender and human rights issues in the Legislature Promoting the legislative implications of international human rights instruments Caucus members as spokespersons for gender and human rights issues, thereby streamlining information and raising awareness. 5. METHODOLOGY AND PLANNING FRAMEWORK As part of the structures of the Gauteng Legislature, the Gauteng Legislature Multi-Party Women s Caucus will follow the planning procedures of the Legislature, as informed by the relevant legislation and planning guidelines. The Caucus will; as guided by planning guidelines, conduct a strategic planning session to formulate a strategic direction that the Caucus will take to give effect to its mandate. 6 Gauteng Legislature Multi-Party Women s Caucus Strategy Document: June 2016
