“Who run the world?” GIRLS!

Updated: Mar 31, 2023

These wise words by philosopher Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter have never rung more true than they do today – the first day of Women’s Month 2022!


On the 9th of August 1956, twenty thousand South African women defiantly marched to the Union Buildings in protest of the extension of the Pass Laws to women. This was nearly 70 years ago – but we’ll bet that these brave sisters would be proud to know that they set the tone for a world of opportunity to come.


The impact of women on today’s society is not only undeniable – but worth raising a glass of Prosecco about!


Why is Women’s Month important to South Africans?

South African women have come a long way in the last 100 years – and it shows! In 2022 alone, women in South Africa have made history in the business sector, on the sports field, in the political space, and in the world of academia.

These go-getters represent the powerful and positive role models we need to inspire young girls, and defy the archaic stereotypes that still remain about the capabilities of women.

As Ginger Rogers once famously said: “I did everything Fred Astaire did – only backwards and in high heels!”!

During the month of August, it is not only our responsibility to recognise and celebrate these achievements, but to join in conversations that will further empower our women to occupy the future in the way they deserve – regardless of class, age or race.


How can we empower the phenomenal women around us?


Women’s Month is a great opportunity to take stock, and identify the ways in which we can support the journeys of other women – in a way our 1956 sisters would be proud of!

From some much-needed emotional support between friends, to financially supporting the new women-owned business that just opened its doors in your neighbourhood, we as women have the power to significantly uplift our contemporaries - despite our shared struggles.



This year’s Women’s Month theme is: ‘Generation Equality: Realising Women's Rights for an Equal Future’ – so how can you contribute to realising this dream?

If you ask us, ‘competition’ is so two thousand and late. The secret to a woman-centric and equal future is collaboration! We believe that creating environments for women to take up space, thrive, and create their own futures is where it’s at – no matter how big or small your capacity to do so.

In other words: Hire women, train women, and mentor women! Never miss an opportunity to facilitate moments of learning… and always be willing to listen to a fellow sister’s story!

And we agree! But let’s face it…
