Simone commenced with active community engagement during the period of liberation and served on the executive committees of political liberation structures. As Executive Member of Women Against Violence, an association founded at that time in 1984 in response to three successive female murders in the immediate area, she assisted in conscientising protective structures, such as the South African Police Services. Her most significant achievement within the milieu of transgender issues was the successful presentations of submissions as part of the Cape transsexual Support Group, which resulted in the promulgation of the amendment of Act 49 of 2003, vs. the The Alteration of Sex Description and Sex Status Bill 37 of 2003, which was eventually approved and signed into law by former President Thabo Mbeki. She also serves on the South African National Commission to UNESCO, a body which oversees structures and formulates recommendations on UNESCO draft resolutions and policies for submission to the National Minister of Education, as South Africa’s official delegate to UNESCO.
