abstract In the past, women’s participation in the labour force was largely limited to their domestic roles. Along with changes in gender norms, post-apartheid employment equity legislation and attempts to ‘mainstream’ gender in State and private sector spheres contributed to significant growth in women’s employment. Still, more than two decades after apartheid, new areas of employment for women continue to be in occupations traditionally associated with ‘women’s work’ (e.g. domestic work). This kind of work tends to have low status, low pay and few opportunities for advancement. Particularly, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LBT) women face barriers in accessing and completing education, and when employed experience pervasive workplace discrimination and harassment, including sexual violence. Consequently, black LBT women find themselves at the intersection of racist, classist and heterosexist discrimination. In this open forum we report on a situational analysis of government responses to socio-economic exclusion of LBT women in Gauteng. We explore the extent to which South African policy and programming respond to socio-economic exclusion of LBT women, and specific objectives include: (i) to review national policy strategies towards addressing socio-economic exclusion of LBT women; and (ii) to review how national policy filters down (or not) into provincial responses, through reviewing provincial policy and programming concerned with socio-economic exclusion of LBT women.

女性的多样性?省政府应对豪登省女同性恋、双性恋和跨性别女性的社会经济排斥

摘要 过去,妇女在劳动力中的参与主要限于她们的家庭角色。随着性别规范的变化,种族隔离后的就业公平立法以及在国家和私营部门领域将性别“主流化”的尝试都促进了妇女就业的显着增长。尽管如此,在种族隔离结束二十多年之后,女性的新就业领域仍然是传统上与“女性工作”相关的职业(例如家政工作)。这种工作往往地位低、工资低、晋升机会少。特别是,女同性恋、双性恋和跨性别 (LBT) 女性在接受和完成教育方面面临障碍,并且在就业时经历普遍的工作场所歧视和骚扰,包括性暴力。最后,黑人 LBT 女性发现自己处于种族主义、阶级主义和异性恋歧视的交叉点。在这个公开论坛中,我们报告了政府对豪登 LBT 妇女的社会经济排斥反应的情况分析。我们探讨了南非政策和计划对 LBT 女性的社会经济排斥做出反应的程度,具体目标包括:(i) 审查解决 LBT 女性社会经济排斥问题的国家政策战略;(ii) 通过审查与 LBT 妇女的社会经济排斥有关的省级政策和计划,审查国家政策如何过滤(或不过滤)到省级响应中。在这个公开论坛中,我们报告了政府对豪登 LBT 妇女的社会经济排斥反应的情况分析。我们探讨了南非政策和计划对 LBT 女性的社会经济排斥做出反应的程度,具体目标包括:(i) 审查解决 LBT 女性社会经济排斥问题的国家政策战略;(ii) 通过审查与 LBT 妇女的社会经济排斥有关的省级政策和计划,审查国家政策如何过滤(或不过滤)到省级响应中。在这个公开论坛中,我们报告了政府对豪登 LBT 妇女的社会经济排斥反应的情况分析。我们探讨了南非政策和计划对 LBT 女性的社会经济排斥做出反应的程度,具体目标包括:(i) 审查解决 LBT 女性社会经济排斥问题的国家政策战略;(ii) 通过审查与 LBT 妇女的社会经济排斥有关的省级政策和计划,审查国家政策如何过滤(或不过滤)到省级响应中。
