2026 marks 70 years since the historic Women’s March of 9 August 1956, when approximately 20 000 courageous women from across South Africa came together and marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to protest against the extension of pass laws to African women. Led by remarkable women such as Lilian Ngoyi, Rahima Moosa, Helen Joseph and Sophie de Bruyn, these women stood united in the face of injustice, carrying with them not only petitions, but the hopes and aspirations of generations to come. Their bravery and determination made the march a defining moment in South Africa’s journey towards freedom, equality and justice, leaving behind a powerful legacy that continues to inspire women and communities to this day.
