INTERNATIONAL WOMEN DAY CELEBRATION
International Women’s Day (8 March, 2026) is a day for us to join voices with people around the world and shout our message for equal rights loud and clear: “Women’s rights are human rights!” We celebrate all women, in all their diversities. We embrace their facets and intersections of faith, race, ethnicity, gender or sexual identity, or disability. We celebrate those who came before us, those who stand beside us now, and those who will come after. It’s a time to celebrate the achievements of women, whether social, political, economic or cultural.
The official United Nations theme for International Women’s Day 2026 is “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls” International Women’s Day comes ahead of the United Nations 70th Commission on the Status of Women, which will focus on progress against the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action on the priority theme of access to justice. This covers “ensuring and strengthening access to justice for all women and girls, including by promoting inclusive and equitable legal systems, eliminating discriminatory laws, policies, and practices, and addressing structural barriers.”
