Description

International Women's Day 2026 (IWD 2026), under the theme, "Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls", marks a moment to amplify our collective determination. No matter how deeply rooted the sexism or how discouraging the politics, we refuse to step back or abandon our mandate. Instead, we climb together – for the rights and empowerment of all women and girls.

This year's United Nations observance of International Women's Day will take place on 9 March and focus on equal justice, purposefully aligning with the 70th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70) (from 9 to 19 March).
