Women’s Day is celebrated in many countries around the world, including South Africa. On August 9th 2020, South Africa commemorated Women’s Day to recognize the essential role women play in society and the incredible contributions they make.
Women from all around the world have fought for their rights, often risking their lives to gain a measure of equality. South African women have been integral to the economic and social development of the country. They make up a third of the national workforce and continue to battle for equal pay and recognition.
In 2019, the Women’s Day celebration took place in Tlokwe City, calling attention to the meaningful part women are playing in the nation’s development. The day of tribute served to honor the role South African women have played in setting the standards for human rights, human dignity, and social cohesion.
From entrepreneurs to teachers, women are making huge contributions to the success of South Africa’s economy. Female-run companies are helping to drive growth and provide critical opportunities for local communities. Women in the public sector are using their influence to affect positive change. And female teachers, educators, and healthcare workers are providing much-needed services to communities around the nation.
An increasing number of women are going into STEM fields. They’re paving the way for future generations of female entrepreneurs. Additionally, women are integral to the political process. They are increasingly taking on more active roles in government and making important decisions that affect the course of the nation.
These accomplishments have come about through hard work, dedication, and perseverance. South African women have strived for success, often against great odds. They have overcome challenges in order to make meaningful contributions to society.
Looking forward, it is important to recognize and celebrate the progress made by South African women. But it is equally important to develop initiatives that promote gender equality, provide essential resources and raise awareness about women’s rights. These initiatives should ensure that South African women have access to the same opportunities, financial and otherwise, as their male counterparts.
A great way of gaining traction towards gender equality is through businesses, in particular those owned and operated by women. Women are increasingly taking charge of their businesses, with support from the government, and many of these companies are doing important work in bringing money and jobs to local communities. Companies, such as Seda, help women entrepreneurs with everything from understanding business finances to developing new acumen, website design, and sales techniques.
There are also other ways of empowering female success. Events and competitions, such as Business Women of the Year Awards, help create awareness about the incredible women who are making waves in the business realm. Supporters of these awards help develop South African women’s skills and networks so that they can continue to thrive.
