Advancing South African rights The programme aims to address the cross cutting nature of gender based violence and discrimination based on race, reli-gion, gender identity and sexual orientation.  The focus is on sexual violence in schools; sexual and reproductive health rights; sexual orientation and gender identity in Mpumalanga, Eastern Cape and KwaZulu Natal.  The intention is to imple-ment legal remedies that serve as redress for women who are disadvantaged by unequal access to resources in a way that contributes to the increase of the escalation of feminized poverty.
