International Women’s Day

The UN Women theme for this year’s International Women’s Day is ‘‘Invest in women: Accelerate progress’’. International Women’s Day is commemorated annually to pay tribute to the achievements of women and girls in various spheres of life and to take actions that promote a gender equal world. 

The world is facing many crises, ranging from geopolitical conflicts to soaring poverty levels and the escalating impacts of climate change. These challenges can only be addressed by solutions that empower women. By investing in women, we can spark change and speed the transition towards a healthier, safer, and more equal world for all.
