Every year the Women and Gender Equality Commission (WGEC) submits substantial reports to Parliament with recommendations which are laid in the National Assembly but have never been debated or considered, according to WGEC commissioner Vanda Radzik.
“We hand them over to the Speaker of the House. Our reports are therefore laid in the Parliament. We have never known, to the best of our knowledge, that they have come to the floor to be debated. It is expected that the reports, once laid, would be debated and some of the recommendations taken up, agreed on, legislated or be made implementable. It hasn’t happened as yet and every year we do these reports,” she said.
