Organisatiegeschiedenis 📅 27 Oktober 1955 📍 Zuid-Afrika

About 2,000 women marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to protest pass laws and restrictions on African women. FEDSAW organised the action and Ida Mntwana led the delegation. This earlier march formed part of the organising that culminated in the much larger 1956 demonstration. Women built political networks through their own organisations and local campaigns, not only through the ANC's male leadership.
