  6. IMPLICATION TO ABSENCE OF ALLOCATION OF THE REQUIRED BUDGET The absence or inadequate allocation of budget to ensure the implementation of and ultimately adherence to provisions in the WEGE Act will: • maintain the continuing status quo of women as the face of poverty • retain the levels of under-development of the huge members of our population • not address the situation of women in rural areas • lead to the continued economic dependence of young women and women, with consequence to vulnerability to abuse, rape and murder

  7. IMPLICATION TO ABSENCE OF ALLOCATION OF THE REQUIRED BUDGET - Continued • not see through changes in the economic and employment sector • delay comprehensive transformation for a better life for all • have unstable family structures continuing, with mothers abandoning or neglecting or not affording proper care of children • affect social cohesion and nation building • not allow for the country to effectively implement the laws of the country in a gender balanced way • affect the use of international treaties and resolutions towards a comprehensive human development • not enhance measures in place to eliminate all forms of discrimination against women and girls
