International Women's Day

International Women's Day (IWD) 2025, focuses on the theme "Accelerate Action." This theme emphasises the urgency of advancing gender equality, highlighting that, at the current pace, achieving full gender parity could take until 2158—over five generations from now.

This theme focuses on unlocking equal rights, power, and opportunities for all women and girls, aiming for a feminist future where no one is left behind. Central to this vision is empowering the next generation—particularly young women and adolescent girls—as catalysts for lasting change.
