Women's Day August

August is Women's Month in South Africa. This year, the theme for National Women’s Day is "Accelerate Action". It is indeed time to speed up progress towards gender equality. It is time to increase investment in women's development and address issues like the gender pay gap, lack of representation, and gender-based violence.

Women’s Day is a celebration for all women living in South Africa’s present who have dreams for the future. It's a reminder of how far we’ve all come — and how much further we can all still go. Every year, this unique feminine holiday is packed with festivities, activism, reflection, and community events. This year is no different.

In Cape Town, women are getting active and showing what they are made of! Seaside Cottages is part of this celebration!

In this blog, we will share some local events for women on 9 August ...

National Women's Day is celebrated on 9 August every year in South Africa. Seaside Cottages celebrates our women with a special long weekend away at Fish Hoek Beach.

Since 1995, National Women's Day has been featured on South Africa’s calendar. August is a time when our nation comes together to celebrate Women’s Month.
It’s a time set aside as a tribute to all South African women - their strength, resilience, and feminine contributions throughout our history.
