International Women’s Day 2025 March Forward

WHAT IS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY?

International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated around the world on the 8th of March every year.

IWD is a global day that celebrates women’s achievements and calls for women’s equality. IWD is an occasion to review how far we’ve come in the struggle for equality, peace and development. It is also an opportunity to unite, network and mobilise for meaningful change in the future.

QWOW RESOURCES

This year we have created some resources for you to use in your workplace at your own IWD celebration.

You can use the information in its entirety as a centrepeice for an event OR pick and choose what is relevant for a toolbox talk onsite or a weekly safety meeting.

The theme for 2025 is March Forward

Thirty years ago, the world committed to a bold vision for gender equality through the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.

Since then, we’ve seen women break barriers, reshape policies, and ignite global movements. Yet, despite significant progress, the promises made remain largely unfulfilled for millions of women worldwide. We are simply not where we should be.
