Celebrating the Contributions of Women in South Africa on International Women's Day

International Women's Day is an important day established to celebrate and recognize the invaluable contributions of women.  It's a day when people around the world show their appreciation for the rights, achievements and progress women have made in every sphere of life. Nowhere is this more notable than in South Africa where countless South African women are making a huge difference in our society and changing lives for the better.

Every year on March 8th, International Women’s Day is commemorated, and this is a day for all of us to recognize the work women are doing to make a better tomorrow. Women are at the forefront of solving global challenges, from economic inequality to the impact of climate change.

South Africa is bustling with innovation, hardworking women and diversity, making it a safe and powerful haven for women to thrive and lead in all aspects of life. From business, health and education to art, science and technology, South African women are becoming powerful forces of change who are using their skills and talents to make a mark today and even more important, a brighter future for the generations to come.

In South Africa, women need to be recognised for the extra effort they put in to achieving success in the corporate world. Women make invaluable contributions in the formal workplace, and these valuable efforts often go unrecognised. International Women’s Day is a great reminder that we need to appreciate, celebrate, support and empower the women of South Africa for their immense strength, resilience and innovation.

Women have historically experienced gender-based discrimination when it comes to education, employment, and decision-making in the home and in communities. Recent data from Stats SA reveals just how far women have come - while there are still many challenges, they are making a noticeable impact. Women have seen significant improvements in tertiary enrolment rates, a study of 120,000 radio presenters showed that women held nearly 64 percent of the jobs, and in 2018, 45 percent of women made up the executive committees of the top companies in South Africa.

This year on International Women’s Day, there are lots of reasons to celebrate the women in South Africa and honour the progress they have made so far. Women play a crucial role in South Africa's economy and culture, from small business owners to big corporate executives, and so many more.
