- Description
- On 9 August every year, the people of South Africa celebrate Women's Day. We do this to remind the government that women should enjoy the same rights and opportunities as men. And we celebrate Women's Day on 9 August for a special reason. On 9 August 1956, 20 000 women from all over South Africa gathered at the Union Buildings in Pretoria. Led By Lilian Ngoyi and Helen Joseph, women came to protest. They were angry because the government was trying to force women to carry passes and control their movements. They told the Nationalist Prime Minister, Strijdom, 'You have tampered with the women. You have struck the rock.' The women lost their struggle. But every year we remember their bravery. And every year we pledge ourselves to fight, so that women are treated as equals in our country.
