INFOGRAPHIC: Women’s Day, reflecting on the past 30 years

This year’s Women’s Month is commemorated under the theme “Celebrating 30 Years of Democracy Towards Women’s Development.”

It marks the 68th anniversary of the historic March to the Union Buildings in Pretoria.

The 1956 March defied the pass laws that limited women of colour and where they were allowed to work.

The country holds Women’s Month to honour women as upcoming agents of change and social revolution.

It also celebrates achievements and  but taking note of the tribulations that remain while calling for additional support from women in South Africa.

This year’s Women’s Month marks a vital moment to reflect on the empowerment and advancement of women’s basic human rights post-apartheid.

The infographic below showcases the progress and identifies areas that still require change.
