Every year in August, South Africa commemorates the 1956 Women’s March where over 20 000 women from different backgrounds and ethnicities, marched to the Union Buildings, in Pretoria on 9 August 1956. The march was aimed to protest against the pass laws.
Therefore, SAPS collaborated with Metropolitan to empower the women within its organisation and to ensure their well-being.
