Hon Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that South Africa celebrates National Women's Day on 9 August to mark the anniversary of the great women's march of 1956, where women marched to the Union Buildings to protest against the carrying of pass books;
2) further notes that this year's Women's Day marks the 55th anniversary of the women's anti-pass march to the Union Buildings and this historic march marked a turning point in the role of women in the struggle for freedom, democracy and social justice in South Africa;
3) recognises that the theme for 2011 is ``Working together to enhance women's opportunities to economic empowerment"; and 4) acknowledges the extraordinary accomplishments of women and honours their role in shaping the course of our nation's history.
Agreed to.
