Although International Women’s Day is on 8 March, South Africa celebrates its own Women’s Day tomorrow – Tuesday 9 August – as a tribute to the 20,000 women who marched to the Union Buildings on that date in 1956 to protest against the extension of Pass Laws to women.

The entire month of August is Women’s Month in South Africa – a tribute to not only those who marched in 1956, but all the pioneers of the women’s movement in SA, dating back to 1913 when women like Charlotte Maxeke established the ANC Women’s League.
