9 August, South Africa - National Women's Day

Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and table mountain (Cape Town)

On this day in 1956 some 20,000 women marched to the Union [government] Buildings in Pretoria to protest against a law requiring black women to carry passes. This day is celebrated as a reminder of the contribution made by women to society, the achievements that have been made for women's rights, and to acknowledge the difficulties and prejudices many women still face.

I'm not South African and I'm not in South Africa but if you are a pretty woman (more or less like Charlize Théron, per example) with sweet feelings and you want to celebrate the Women's Day with me... call me... (hi, hi...I'm trying to be funny... she kills me!).
