More women are unemployed than men.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ramaphosa said the government had attempted to improve the plight of women through economic participation and legislation.<\/p>\n<p>He added less than a third of women-owned business formed part of government\u2019s supplier database and that work was being done to improve this.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaphosa said:<\/p>\n<p>He also encouraged the private sector to allocate at least 40% of its procurement budget to women-owned enterprises.<\/p>\n<p>On the legal front, he said that he had signed into law the Criminal Law Amendment Act, the Criminal and Related Matters Amendment Act, and the Domestic Violence Amendment Act.<\/p>\n<p>These were aimed to provide greater protection to survivors of gender-based violence, ensure that perpetrators were no longer able to evade prosecution, and to strengthen measures to prevent gender-based violence.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaphosa added that his administration wanted to see bail denied to those charged in gender-based violence related cases.<\/p>\n<p>Sisisi Tolashe, programme director of the event, said they took the president\u2019s remarks seriously and would move to ensure that the calls he made were realised.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want to see SAFA ensure equal pay between men and women. We want to see the private sector buy more from women-led businesses,&#8221; said Tolashe, who is also the newly-elected ANC Women\u2019s League president.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are going to demand programmes and time-frames on legislation changes and programmes of women economic empowerment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
