WOMENS MONTH
On the 09 August 1956, Helen Joseph & Lilian Ngoyi led the 20 000 women
march to Pretoria to protest against the pass laws. They were holding
thousands of petitions in their arms, marching to the office of Prime
Minister. Lilian Ngoyi was the one who knocked on the Prime Minister's
office. The door remained closed, no respond, no honorable prime minister in
the office. The Prime Minister had run away.
The challenge is not so much on the men but on women. Women of today must
start where women of 1950's left off. I call all women to play a pivotal
role in our democratic South Africa. The concrete demands of the black man's
situation demands that no energy must be wasted in the kitchen. All human
resources must be mobilized. Let the women move out of the vast network of
domestic traditions and occupy honorable places in the community.
Women must capacitate themselves in order to be competent. They must not get
the leadership position or high position due to because are woman, and must
get leadership position because are capable and deserved it. They must be
political orientated and must have a leadership skills, in order to lead our
country
Our society today are having the challenges that we must fight against
domestic violence, abuse, emotional, financial or physical and human
trafficking
They must be like the women of 1950's. Let celebrate the women month in
memory of the late women of 1950's and 156 women leaders arrested on charge
of high treason and endured four years long trial
