Centre for Civil Society - Special Webinar Series Civil Society in South Africa: A Shrinking Space? Equal Education & Section 27
A number of international studies have noted a ‘shrinking space’ for civil society. This has been attributed to curtailing civil society organisation activities, increased regulation, repression and restrictions owing to increased and complicated reporting requirements. South African studies have echoed this trend noting threats of closer regulation, findings of pre-emptive repression of protest, intimidation of activists and the framing of social movements and some NGOs as ‘counter revolutionary’.

CCS Webinar:21st Century Women in Activism, Redefining the Struggle. |
|
Every August in South Africa women are celebrated to commemorate the 1956 march of 20,000 women to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to petition against the country's pass laws. These laws required South Africans defined as "black" under The Population Registration Act to carry an internal passport, known as a passbook, that served to maintain population segregation, control urbanisation, and manage migrant labour during the apartheid era. Women struggles continue across the world centred on racial injustice, inequality and the wage disparity gap. This special webinar series focuses on women and activism at the forefront of change.
