Indeed, “Watint’ abafazi- wathinti’ imbokodo”

A revolutionary song sung by 20,000 women as they marched to and from the Union Buildings in Pretoria, in 1956 on the 9th of August, to hand over a petition against pass laws imposed on women during the apartheid era.

It is in celebrating womanhood that we remind ourselves to keep striving for dignity and equality. By nurturing our mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, and nieces, we are in turn nurturing life in all its forms.

Women want to be seen, heard, and valued in every aspect of life. Whether in the workplace, at home, or within their communities, women seek recognition for their contributions and the freedom to make choices that align with their values and aspirations. This Women’s Month, we are reminded that every woman’s voice and vision matter, and that true empowerment begins with acknowledging and supporting their unique perspectives.

Moreover, women desire access to opportunities that enable them to thrive and lead fulfilling lives. From healthcare to education, and from professional advancement to personal growth, women seek the tools and environments that foster their development and well-being. At Opti Eyewear, we believe in providing women with not only the gift of clear vision but also the clarity to pursue their dreams with confidence and determination. As we celebrate Women’s Month, let’s continue to champion a world where every woman can see and shape her future without barriers.

Salute to all women.
