Today, Women's Day is celebrated with a public holiday in South Africa and represents the uniting of women through empowerment, upliftment, women against abuse and violence.

In the 60 years since the vents of 1956, the phrase has come to represent women's courage and strength in South Africa.

National Women's Day was first celebrated as a national holiday in 1995.

In 2006 a reenactment of the march was staged for its 50th anniversary, with many of the 1956 march veterans attending.

The month of August is now dedicated to women and is marked by several government events such as a trade fair for women's crafts and a symposium on labour issues.
