National Women's Monument, Memorial monument in Bloemfontein, South Africa.
The National Women's Monument features a 37-meter sandstone obelisk with bronze sculptures depicting two women and a dying child at its base.
Built in 1913, this monument honors 27,000 Boer women and children who died in British concentration camps during the South African War of 1899-1902.
The site receives annual visits from students of C&N Sekondêre Meisieskool Oranje to commemorate President Steyn's connection to South African history.
Located 3 kilometers south of Bloemfontein, the monument shares its grounds with the Anglo-Boer War Museum for comprehensive historical understanding.
The ashes of Emily Hobhouse, who campaigned for human rights during the conflict, rest at the foot of this memorial structure.
