In South Africa we have a separate, special celebration for women. National Women’s Day falls on 9 August. It’s a public holiday and it specifically seeks to celebrate women in society’s contribution to achieving freedom in South Africa – more specifically, to commemorate the actions of women in 1956 to contribute to SA’s drive for freedom and equality.
An inspiring display of political strength, female solidarity and inner fortitude, the march on August 9, 1956, is both a reminder of the great women who helped mold South Africa and the trailblazing women who continue to lead the country forward.
HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY TO ALL THE STRONG WOMEN.
MAY WE KNOW THEM. MAY WE BE THEM. MAY WE RAISE THEM.
