Gender describes the different roles and responsibilities of women and men – what males and females do, what they are responsible for, how they are expected to behave, what they are allowed to do, and what is seen as normal and proper behaviour in the community.

Equity

Gender Equality

Roles of women & men are valued equally ,i.e.; there is equal opportunities, equal treatment and equal entitlements. Equal is directly linked to Human Development. Design initiatives whereby we all work towards achieving a goal for the benefit of this Department, our community and the country.

Social Inclusion

Social Inclusion means ensuring that socially excluded (Disadvantaged) people have equal opportunities for realising their full human rights and potentials to contribute towards the development of the nation and to equally benefit from the results

A socially Inclusive and diverse workplace is achieved by recognising the values and differences of each individuals and using these people at their workplace to achieve their full potential (GESI Policy).
