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 passbook, 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 1995. In 2006, a reenactment of the march was staged for its 50th anniversary, with many of the 1956 march veterans.

Fu istituita nel 1994 per commemorare una marcia di protesta di donne tenutasi nel 1956, contro l'obbligo del "lasciapassare" previsto per i cittadini neri del paese durante l'epoca dell'apartheid.

  • National Women’s Day (englisch für „Nationaler Frauentag“) ist ein gesetzlicher Feiertag in Südafrika, der jedes Jahr am 9. August stattfindet. Er soll an den Protestmarsch zahlreicher Frauen erinnern, der am 9. August 1956 stattfand. Sie demonstrierten gegen Apartheid-Gesetze, nach denen sie zum Betreten eines nicht heimatberechtigten Township ein schriftliches Arbeitsnachweisdokument (Reference-book) vorlegen mussten, das monatlich zu erneuern war. Auch die schwarzen Männer konnten ihrer Arbeit nur mit denselben schriftlichen Nachweisen nachgehen und waren unter regionalen Beschränkungen und mit scharfen Sanktionen bei Verstößen weitgehend entrechtet. Später wurden diese durch ein Gesetz aus dem Jahre 1952 zu verpflichtenden Personaldokumente, für männliche schwarze Afrikaner seit dem 1. (de)
