This week on Womanity-Women in Unity, Dr. Amaleya Goneos-Malka talks to Equatorial Guinea’s Ambassador to South Africa, Ambassador Librada Ela Asumu. Some of her previous appointments include working at the United Nations, serving in the Ministry of Social Welfare and Women Protection and Ministry of External Affairs and Co-operation. We consider some cultural tensions effecting gender equality despite constitutional legislature in Equatorial Guinea. For example, prevailing perceptions that successful career women neglect their families, that being married is a sign of social acceptance, that women have ceilings imposed on their ambitions. We debunk these myths demonstrating that stereotypical thinking is outmoded and threatens the empowerment of women. Tune in for more…

This week on Womanity-Women in Unity, Dr. Amaleya Goneos-Malka talks to the CEO of Anglo American Platinum (AMPLATS), Natascha Viljoen, who sits on the Anglo American Platinum Board and the Group Management Committee of Anglo American plc. She reflects on factors that led to her career in mining from getting “the smell of the place” as a child going on site trips with her father, who worked on gold mines and drawing on this energy, to a love of science and math which fuelled her interest in a technical career, specifically in mining. We discuss some of the targeted empowerment activities that AMPLATS has in place for women, both in the local communities where it operates and the business itself. We remark on the fact that it is possible for women to make an impact and break ceilings in male dominated environments. Women introduce different perspectives, which in turn reshapes the workplace, contributes to diversity and innovation. Tune in for more.

This week on Womanity-Women in Unity, Dr. Amaleya Goneos-Malka talks to member of parliament Alexandra Abrahams from the Democratic Alliance, who also serves on the portfolio committee of Social Development. Applying a gendered lens she unpacks various social development programs in relation to women, such as crime prevention, substance abuse, victim empowerment shelters, social grants, early childhood development and maternal support. We discuss the impact political actions exert on people’s lives, one law or policy can change the future, so people should take an active interest to shape decisions that affect their wellbeing and that of their communities. For women interested in a political career, it starts with being involved in community matters, following issues that concern you in parliament, keeping abreast of narratives from global female leaders and asking what role you can play to drive a cause.
