Women's Day in South Africa is different from International Women's Day. 1On August 9, 956, hundreds of black women held a demonstration in Pretoria to protest against the "pass law" of apartheid. The new South African government has designated this day as Women's Day to commemorate the contribution made by South African women in the struggle for equality, and has designated this day as a national public holiday. Since then, every year on August 9th, women all over South Africa will hold various forms of celebrations, demanding equality between men and women, ending party conflicts and violence, safeguarding women's rights and interests, and opposing sexual harassment and sexual crimes, so as to eliminate the deep-rooted discrimination against women in the old apartheid system in South Africa.
