South Africa has unveiled plans for its 2024 Women’s Month celebration, centred on the theme “Celebrating 30 Years of Freedom Towards Women’s Development”.
The government says this year’s campaign will assess progress made in women’s socio-economic empowerment since the advent of democracy in 1994.
Officials plan to highlight key achievements stemming from the Women’s Charter, a document that has been central to shaping gender equality policies in post-apartheid South Africa.
The announcement comes as the country prepares to mark three decades since the end of apartheid, with women’s rights and development featuring prominently in the national discourse.
The government is set to outline a comprehensive plan for the month-long campaign, which is expected to include various events and initiatives across the country.
These activities will aim to educate the public on progress made, challenges faced, and future goals for women’s empowerment in South Africa.
The celebration occurs amid ongoing debates about gender-based violence, economic disparities, and political representation for women in the country.
The official launch of the Women’s Month campaign is anticipated to provide more details on specific events planned for August 2024 as it will not only celebrate progress but also renew efforts towards achieving full gender equality in South Africa.
