Accelerating Action for Gender Equality—International Women’s Day 2025

International Women’s Day (IWD) 2025, observed on March 8th, was yet another powerful moment to advocate for gender equality and celebrate the remarkable contributions of women in shaping our society. This year’s theme, “Let’s Accelerate Action for Gender Equality,” served as a rallying call for individuals, organizations, and policymakers to move beyond discussions and take tangible steps toward dismantling systemic barriers that hinder women’s progress.
