International Women’s Day is celebrated annually on 8 March. It is a day to celebrate the achievements of women and girls and to build support for women’s rights and their full participation in the economy, politics, community and in everyday life.

This year’s theme is ‘For ALL women and girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment’.

The year 2025 is a pivotal moment in the global pursuit of gender equality and women’s empowerment, as it marks the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. Adopted at the Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995 in Beijing, China, by 189 governments, the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action remains the most progressive and widely endorsed blueprint for women’s and girls’ rights worldwide.
