How did the women's march against apartheid end?​

History

Answer:

Although African men had been required to carry passes for many decades, only in the 1950s did the government impose pass laws on African women. African women were not allowed to live in towns unless they had permission to be employed there, and extending pass laws to them made it more difficult for women without jobs to take their children and join their husbands in town. Across the country, dozens of protests against passing laws for African women took place before the Federation of South African Women (formed in 1955) and the African National Congress Women’s League organized a massive protest march in Pretoria.

On August 9, 1956, 20,000 women, representing all racial backgrounds, came from all over South Africa to march on the Union Buildings, where they stood in silent protest for 30 minutes while petitions with 100,000 signatures were delivered to the Prime Minister’s office. Many men in the anti-apartheid movement were surprised by the women’s militancy, and the protest contributed to women playing a bigger role in the struggle for freedom and democracy. August 9th now is celebrated as National Women’s Day in South Africa.

What was meant by the saying “no taxation without representation”?
Reika [66]

Answer:

The government should not be permitted to tax its citizens unless they are represented in it.

Explanation:

<u>“No taxation without representation”</u> was the motto of American colonists expressing objection to the British government. It suggested the inevitable American revolution.

<u>American colonists had no say in the English government but were somehow still expected to pay taxes.</u> They demanded their legal right to be represented in the government they gave their money to, otherwise they would refuse to be taxed.
