Description: On the night of the 8 March 1991, a thousand women braved the rain to march through the streets of Johannesburg. They chose this day for their protest march because the 8 March is International Women’s Day. The women marched to highlight the problem of violence against women. They said that women are not safe on the streets at night. Many women are not even safe in their own homes! The night they marched about 140 women were raped in South Africa between six and nine o’ clock. Many women were beaten and raped in their own homes, some were hurt by their own husbands or boyfriends. ‘We want to feel safe in our own homes, at work and in the streets. We demand an end to violence against women,’ Monique Marks of the ANC Women’s League said. Copies of the demands were sent to the Chief Magistrate of Johannesburg, the City Council and Health Department.
