The Women’s Network will be headed by a select group of women who are known as the Women’s Network champions.

These champions will liaise, on an ad hoc basis, with all relevant internal and external stakeholders, including line functionaries from both the support and operational environments. It is imperative that all women in the SAPS be involved in this initiative.

The programme of the Network will involve all sectors of the Service, including those at national, provincial, area and station levels. Women’s networks need to be revitalized and aligned with existing gender structures.
