Women's Advice Centre

State strategies have dramatically worsened the position of black working class women in South African society. This has partly been made possible and compounded by the weakness of women’s organisations and the absence of a strong women’s movement able to defend working class women. The purpose of the Women’s Advice Centre is to contribute towards addressing these various problems.

Objectives of the Centre are to ensure:

1. More working class women have access to their rights
2. An extension of the existing rights women enjoy
3. An improvement in the quality of life of working class women in particular in the process
4. The development of women’s consciousness and confidence to participate in the broader struggle for social justice and in the struggle for women’s emancipation

Activities:

• Advice/basic counselling
• Education/awareness-raising
• Campaigns, advocacy and lobbying
• Training and development
• Network building
• Documenting and profiling
