Each year South Africa celebrates Women's Day in August. We also pay tribute to the more than 20 000 women who marched to the Union Buildings in 1956 in protest against the extension of Pass Laws to women. In 2021 we celebrate Women's Month under the theme: “Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights for an Equal Future”. The concept of Generation Equality is a global campaign and links South Africa to global efforts to achieve gender equality by 2030.
Women’s Month is a tribute not only to the thousands of women who marched on that day in 1956, but also a tribute to the pioneers of the women’s movement in this country.
This year, our Healthineer women lent their voices to the cause and shared their views on Women Empowerment and how we can support future pioneers.
Introducing our Women of Inspiration at Siemens Healthineers South Africa; these strong women who inspire and galvanize our actions and thoughts and who are paving the way for future generations of women.
