Young women must seize democratic opportunities: De Bruyn
South Africa marks the 70th anniversary of the historic march of more than 20 000 women.
Former 1956 Women's March leader Sophie de Bruyn has called upon young women in South Africa to seize the democratic opportunities that have emerged since apartheid ended. Speaking to SABC News as the country commemorates the 70th anniversary of the historic march, de Bruyn highlighted the significant progress made by women in the country's political and economic spheres.
She expressed her joy at the fact that women now hold high-ranking positions in Parliament and various industries across the nation. De Bruyn emphasized that while the sky is no longer the limit, young women should strive to reach even higher, perhaps becoming astronauts or pursuing other ambitious goals. She urged women to maintain hope and not lose faith in the opportunities that democracy has brought their way.
