What is the theme for International women’s Day 2025?

This year’s theme is Accelerate Action.

On 8 March 2025, join us to celebrate International Women’s Day on the need to Accelerate Action— emphasizes the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality. It calls for increased momentum and urgency in addressing the systemic barriers and biases that women face, both in personal and professional spheres.

Even if you don’t celebrate the day for yourself, think about acknowledging the day for others. To achieve gender equity, we must elevate women. Push them as high as possible to be seen, and amplify their voices to be heard to achieve gender parity. That’s what International Women’s Day is for.
