Non-white women experienced repression under apartheid in South Africa in a distinct way, as they experienced oppression while white women were favoured in society. Black women held the lowest position in the social hierarchy, with Indian and non-black coloured women faring slightly better, and white women being the most favoured. Apartheid defined all black citizens as secondary to white citizens, however black women were assigned an even lower status through both laws and social norms. This has been coined the “triple oppression” of race, class, and gender. Women had authority in pre-colonial Africa as they were the main agricultural producers. However, when farming declined in importance, women lost their authority and status meaning they were left with no real place or role in society.

  • Non-white women experienced repression under apartheid in South Africa in a distinct way, as they experienced oppression while white women were favoured in society. Black women held the lowest position in the social hierarchy, with Indian and non-black coloured women faring slightly better, and white women being the most favoured. Apartheid defined all black citizens as secondary to white citizens, however black women were assigned an even lower status through both laws and social norms. This has been coined the “triple oppression” of race, class, and gender. Women had authority in pre-colonial Africa as they were the main agricultural producers. However, when farming declined in importance, women lost their authority and status meaning they were left with no real place or role in society. The traditions of communities within South Africa were the basis of the gender discrimination present under apartheid. Under traditional law women were denied the right to own land, the right to custody of their children, and the right to be chief or elected as chief. This reinforced apartheid ideology as well as the legacies of colonialism which classified women as second-class citizens. (en)
