Empowering a new generation of South African girls! In 1956, 20,000 women marched in Pretoria to petition against a strengthening of the Pass Laws in South Africa.
These Pass Laws were designed to segregate the South African population and limit the freedom of movement of South Africa's black population. Then Prime Minister J.G. Strijdom refused to meet with the protesters, but was delivered 100,000 signatures the women had collected in protest to further restrictions by the apartheid government.
On August 9th every year, South Africa and the rest of the world celebrate the courage and determination of the country’s women, and honor the 20,000 women that participated in the march.
The South African government has declared the entire month of August as Women's Month, and the African Union has declared 2010-2020 to be African Women's Decade.
The award winning Girls & Football SA (where girls kick butt!) encourages the development of girls and young women in South Africa through sport, media and education, and has partnered with Springleap to organize South Africa’s first creative campaign in honor of this march. This is your chance to get creative and design with a feminine fierceness in mind, celebrating all you admire and respect about your mothers, sisters and girlfriends.
THE BRIEF:
Create a design that shows how femininity, passion and strength have the power to change the world by creating a better life for young women through football.
Designs should embody passion, resilience and have a hint of provocative creativity to dispel misconceptions surrounding feminism. The winning design should reflect strength, pride and courage with a female touch. The movers and shakers in the world that believe in sport for girls will wear this shirt with pride!
You can download the G&F SA iconography pack (containing the colour palette and logo) here - but feel free to use your own colours!
