International Women’s Day: Celebrating Progress and Championing Change

International Women’s Day (IWD), observed annually on 8th March, is a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It also serves as a call to action for accelerating gender parity. In 2025, the theme is “For ALL women and girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.” This theme underscores the importance of inclusivity and the collective effort required to ensure that every woman and girl can realise her full potential.
