Our experience has shown that a lack of access to information is one of the biggest stumbling blocks obstructing women in the exercise of their rights. The Project seeks to address this obstacle through the dissemination of information on gender equality and women's rights.

In 2000, the Project completed a comprehensive bibliography on violence against women, listing all the resources in this area available at organisations' resource centres in the Western Cape. The Gender Project is working with the Western Cape Network on Violence Against Women, to update the bibliography. It will reflect the current collections of libraries and resource centres, and will be available in 2003.

The Project has produced various plain language information, including a booklet on Domestic Violence and a pamphlet on Sex Work and the Law. The project is working on publishing a plain language information booklet aimed at empowering counselors at service-providing NGOs to prepare clients for the criminal trial in sexual assault cases. Previous and current plain language information booklets are in the process of being translated into other languages in addition to English. The Project aims to disseminate information through its newsletter, GenderNews, which is sent to a wide range of national and international organisations.

The Project also frequently participates in workshops around its focus areas and broader gender related issues, in an effort to disseminate legal information and empower organisations and individuals to enforce their rights.
