International Women’s Day 2025
A Call to Accelerate Action
International Women’s Day (IWD) is observed annually on 8th March and is a global movement dedicated to honoring the diverse achievements of women across all facets of life including social, economic, cultural, and political factors. More than a celebration, IWD is a powerful reminder of the ongoing pursuit for gender equality.
From its 1911 socialist roots, International Women’s Day (IWD) has grown into a globally recognized event, marked by diverse worldwide celebrations. This century-long journey is a testament to its rich and influential history.
This day provides a valuable opportunity for communities to engage, reflect on past advancements, and commit to tangible actions. Participating in IWD ensures that the drive for equality remains a central focus on the global agenda, fostering a climate where positive change prevails.

While IWD may hold varying meanings for different groups, its core objectives remain consistent:
- Celebrating Achievements: To acknowledge and appreciate the diverse contributions of women, spotlighting their influence and successes throughout history and in the present.
- Raising Awareness: To shed light on persistent gender inequalities, including the gender pay gap, underrepresentation in leadership, gender-based violence, and unequal access to opportunities.
- Mobilizing Action: To inspire individuals, communities, and organizations to take concrete steps toward creating a more inclusive and equitable world for women.
- Supporting Women’s Causes: To donate and fundraise for charities focused on women’s empowerment, amplifying their vital work.
This year’s theme, “Accelerate Action,” is a compelling call to intensify our efforts toward gender equality. With current projections indicating that full gender parity may not be achieved until 2158, the need for urgent action is undeniable.
“Accelerate Action” emphasizes the importance of swift and decisive steps to dismantle systemic barriers and biases. It’s a global call to acknowledge and implement strategies that positively impact women’s advancement.
