On August 9th 1956, Frances Baard joined 20,000 women, led by ANC Women's League (ANCWL) president Lilian Ngoyi, to march on the Union Buildings in Pretoria in protest against the government's intention to extend pass-law restrictions to women. The pass-law restrictions were subsequently extended to include women in early 1960.
