As part of the celebration of the role that women’s power played in the realisation of our democracy, and the role that women’s power plays in our struggles to defend and advance that democracy today, the Abahlali baseMjondolo Women’s League will hold a Women’s Day Event at the Surat Hindoo and Association Hall in Prince Edward Street. The event will start at 10 am this Sunday.

Women in our movement have been always on the forefront of our struggle. Many of the women in our movement have made serious sacrifices in the building of this movement. Some women have given their lives to this struggle. We will honour all those women who have lost their lives in our struggle.

The theme of this year’s celebration is empowering women to participate in political leadership. Women will be sharing ideas on how they can empower each other to be part of the leadership. They will also be discussing serious issues around gender-based violence, sexual harassment and assault, collectivising child care and other issues that affect us on a day to day basis.

Wathinta abafazi wathita imbokodo!
