*Progressive Women’s Movement of South Africa, **Media Statement, 17 May 2013 *
The Progressive Women’s Movement of South Africa’s (PWMSA) is hosting a special National General Council which will take place on the *18**^th ** – 19**^th ** May 2013* at St. Georges Hotel, Irene (Pretoria). The theme is:
*Advancing Women’s Economic Inclusion and Empowerment* /in Honour of Mme Charlotte Maxeke and all our women heroes./Without economic freedom, it is impossible for the women of South Africa to enjoy other freedoms associated with our political freedom.
Approximately 200 women from the nine provinces are expected to attend the meeting. They will be representing different sectors of society including NGOs, artists, politics, business, churches, media and government.
The PWMSA National Steering Committee under the leadership of its President and Deputy Minister of Economic Development, Professor Hlengiwe Mkhize, will present a UNDP driven model of Women’s Inclusion in Economic Participation.
*This model will result in training of women entrepreneurs nationally, exposure to business opportunities at the local level as well as exchange programmes with women from countries that share similar demographics to South Africa, facilitated by the UNDP and other international partners of the PWMSA.*
PWMSA has invited relevant government structures to support the programme such as the Department of Trade and Industry and other agencies responsible for Enterprise Development and Access to Credit.**
At provincial level, we will request provincial Convenors to get the buy-in of Premiers and economic development structures, essentially cascading the model to the local level.
