1.1 Background and introductionBefore proceeding with the gender pay gap discussion, it is necessary to understand how women have suffered unfair treatment throughout the years. The reason being that it provides us with a better understanding of what women had to endure, other than earning less than their male counterparts. The situation for women in South Africa has never been easy. Over the last few decades things have steadily changed to accommodate women more, but there are still some lingering issues, such as the wage gap, that needs urgent attention.At the onset of the twentieth century in South Africa all previously independent African policies was conquered, and the white population took control. By the white population taking control of the African community, the economic independence of the African community was subjected to African men working on mines and on white owned farms. Once various minerals were discovered in South Africa, it changed the South African economy once again. These changes that came about were significant for the role that women played, especially black women.In the early twentieth century, 1912, black women started to form groups to take on social roles in the churches, but they were never recognised nor accepted as members of the African National Congress. This acceptance only came into effect in 1943. South Africa's labour force back in the apartheid years comprised of four race groups - Africans, whites, coloureds and Indians. This racial classification was done in accordance with the Population Registration Act which was a rigid system of identification according to race. Similarly, white women also were not allowed to partake in any political decision making. It was only in the 1930's where they gained the right to take part in decision making processes. In the 1930 the Afrikaner women, living in the lands, similarly to their Coloured, Indian and African counterparts, began to enter the labour market, where they often found work in the industrial sector.The South African society was, and in some instances still is, a patriarchal system. The role fulfilled by women, both black and white, was that of a domestic one, one where they needed to attend to the house, children etc. It was seen that women were subordinates to men and had to obey their every command. In the late 1800's and early 1900's if a woman were to work or be economically active, it was not seen as feminine. During the ages women have successfully fought for the right to vote, they fought against the extension of the notorious pass laws to women under apartheid, demanded and attained legal abortions and have risen to the ranks of parliament. Women are also at risk, daily, of being attacked in some way or another. The one thing that has been with women during the last century is that they have never been paid equal remuneration in relation to their male counterparts for doing the same and or similar work. Women have suffered a tremendous amount of past injustices.
