On International Women’s Day, (8 March 2025), we celebrate the social, economic, cultural, political achievements and significant contributions of women around the world.
This year’s theme by the United Nations (UN) is “For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.”
The theme calls for action in three key areas:
- Advance women’s and girl’ rights: Fight relentlessly for women’s and girls’ full range of human rights, challenging all forms of violence, discrimination, and exploitation.
- Promote gender equality: Address systemic barriers, dismantle patriarchy, transform entrenched inequities, and elevate the voices of marginalized women and girls, including young people, to ensure inclusivity and empowerment.
- Foster empowerment: Redefine power structures by ensuring inclusive access to education, employment, leadership, and decision-making spaces. Prioritize opportunities for young women and girls to lead and innovate.
IWD 2025 campaign theme is ‘Accelerate Action‘
