It’s complex. There’s no one word to describe it. No one way to be a woman.

The Womanhood project is a live documentation of real stories and people and sets out to capture the incredible stories, challenges and issues facing the women of South Africa today. What you’ve watched is just the beginning. We’ll be adding more unique and personal stories soon.

Follow us @1stforWomanhood, tag #ThisIsWomanhood and share your view of what it means to be a South African woman.
