International Women’s Day
March 8, 2025
International Women’s Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Significant activity is witnessed worldwide as groups come together to celebrate women’s achievements or rally for women’s equality.
Marked annually on March 8th, IWD is one of the most important days of the year to:
- celebrate women’s achievements
- educate and awareness raise about women’s equality
- call for positive change advancing women
- lobby for accelerated gender parity
- fundraise for women-focused charities
Everyone, everywhere can play a part in helping forge gender equality. From a wide range of IWD campaigns, events, rallies, lobbying, and performances – to festivals, parties, fun runs, and celebrations – all IWD activity is valid. That’s what makes IWD so inclusive.
So make IWD your day and do what you can, in your own way, to help forge a gender equal world.
