National Women's Day

National Women's Day is a South African public holiday celebrated annually on 9 August. The day commemorates the 1956 march of approximately 20 000 women to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to petition against the country's pass laws that required South Africans defined as "black" under The Population Registration Act to carry an internal passport, known as a pass, that served to maintain population segregation, control urbanisation, and manage migrant labour during the apartheid era. The first National Women's Day was celebrated on 9 August 1994.〔http://www.sahistory.org.za/dated-event/south-africa-celebrates-first-national-womens-day〕 In 2006, a reenactment of the march was staged for its 50th anniversary, with many of the 1956 march veterans.
==1956 Women's March==
On 9 August 1956, more than 20 000〔http://www.sahistory.org.za/topic/1956-womens-march-pretoria-9-august〕 South African women of all races staged a march on the Union Buildings in protest against the proposed amendments to the Urban Areas Act of 1950, commonly referred to as the "pass laws". The march was led by Lilian Ngoyi, Helen Joseph, Rahima Moosa and Sophia Williams. Other participants included Frances Baard, a statue of whom was unveiled by Northern Cape Premier Hazel Jenkins in Kimberley (Frances Baard District Municipality) on National Women's Day 2009.〔"MaBaard gets a special place", ''Diamond Fields Advertiser'' 11 August 2009 p 3〕The women left bundles of petitions containing more than 100 000 signatures at the office doors of prime minister J.G. Strijdom. The women stood silently for 30 minutes, singing a protest song that was composed in honour of the occasion: ''Wathint'Abafazi Wathint'imbokodo!''(''Now you have touched the women, you have struck a rock.'').〔http://www.dfa.gov.za/images/gallery1/women's%20day.pdf〕 In the 54 years since, the phrase (or its latest incarnation: "you strike a woman, you strike a rock") has come to represent women's courage and strength in South Africa.
