Honouring National Women’s Day in South Africa
Every year on the 9th of August, South Africa celebrates Woman’s Day, a public holiday commemorating the historic march of 200,000 women to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to protest the then government's discriminatory pass laws on the 9th of August 1956. Today, Women’s Day celebrates the social, economic, and political contributions of women in South Africa.
