National Women’s Day commemorates the peaceful yet impactful Women’s March of 1956, which saw more than 20 000 women march to the Union Buildings in protest against the oppressive pass laws of the time. Leading the march were Lillian Ngoyi, Helen Joseph, Albertina Sisulu and Sophia Williams-De Bruyn.
