To the President of South Africa, HE Cyril Ramaphosa,

We the representatives of Women, Voice and Leadership South Africa, and women’s rights activists across the country;
Mindful of the devastating consequences of COVID-19 on our country, especially women and marginalised groups who constitute the majority of those infected and affected by the pandemic;
Applaud the efforts in recent weeks to escalate the roll out of vaccines to all corners of the country. 

Call on you this Women’s Day 2021 to:
* Provide sex disaggregated data on vaccine roll out and all COVID-19 statistics in line with the national gender policy, global and regional commitments to understanding the gendered impact of all government endeavours.   
* Extend vaccines to those under 35 as soon as possible;
* Ensure that vaccine roll out reaches marginalised groups including migrant women, people with living with disability, the LGBTIQ community, sex workers, the elderly as well as women living in rural areas;  
*Prioritise those with serious co-morbidities.
