The legacy of female activism in South Africa is deeply rooted in the struggle against apartheid, where women fought against oppression, advocating for equality, and fighting for social justice. Icons like Lilian Ngoyi, Helen Joseph, and Albertina Sisulu led powerful movements, such as the 1956 Women's March to the Union Buildings which led to a public holiday we recognise today as Women’s day. As South Africa transitioned to democracy, the focus of female activism shifted towards addressing gender-based violence, economic inequality, free and democratic education using social media to amplify these issues. What does this say about the legacy of activism in South Africa? How is the younger, democratic generation of women continuing this legacy?
