Celebrate Women
Issued by: Constitution Hill August 2005 Women's Jail Festival You're free to go whenever you want. 3/08/05 - 28/08/05 The Women's Jail was built in 1910. For seventy three years, this Jail imprisoned thousands of women who came to Johannesburg to make a living. Some were common criminals and others were detained for protesting against the system of apartheid. Mothers, wives, prostitutes, domestic workers, nannies, jazz singers, political workers, models, telephonists, murders, teachers, typists, journalists, factory workers, hairdressers, fraudsters, students, cooks, nurses and others were detained here. Once a place of incarceration, the Woman's Jail is now a part of Constitution Hill, a National Heritage Site. The Women's Jail is the only place in South Africa that specifically honours and pays tribute to the memo ries of women prisoners who suffered under colonial and apartheid regimes. The Jail houses permanent exhibitions that tell powerful and moving stories of the ex-prisoners.
