    August: Women’s Month

    Dinu Celebrates women throughout South Africa

    Our Dinu brand is synonymous with quality and makes you feel at home, wherever you are. We know that women are so good at making a house a home and that is why we celebrate and show appreciation to women in the month of August.

    With designs varying from conservative to more eccentric, Dinu has a range that caters for all women, empowering them to make their house a home through the use of these quality products in their everyday lives.

    We have a rich family history and this is where our strength lies. We believe in a space of neutrality where women and men treat each other with respect and where violence and brutality towards women has come to an end.
    A  space where women are free to exercise their power of choice and in so doing, create a pleasant home atmosphere to foster their families in.

    This year marks the 61st anniversary of the Women’s March to the Union Buildings on 9 August 1956. Read more about the history of Women’s Day.

     

    The History of Women’s Month

    Women’s month is commemorated every August as a tribute to the more than 20 000 women who marched to the Union Buildings on 9 August 1956, to protest the extension of apartheid’s pass laws to women.

    This historic march was a turning point in the role of women in the struggle for freedom. Since that eventful day, women from all walks of life became equal partners in the struggle for a non-racial and non-sexist South Africa.

    The Government of South Africa declared August Women’s Month and 9 August is celebrated annually as Women’s Day.
