International Women's Day 

International Women's Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day has been celebrated for over a century. IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organisation specific.

Each year, IWD is celebrated with a specific theme that highlights key aspects of gender equality. This year it is "Accelerate Action." This theme encourages individuals, organisations, and governments to take concrete steps to advance women’s rights and remove barriers to progress.

2025 also commemorates 30 years since the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. This landmark agreement remains one of the most comprehensive frameworks for advancing women's and girls’ rights globally.
