International Women's Day 2024
Count Her In: Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress.
International Women’s Day is held on 8 March each year, with events and activities taking place across the globe. In Western Australia, it is an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to gender equality and to celebrate the contributions women make to our communities.
It is a time to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. It also marks a call to action for accelerating gender equality to create a world where women and girls everywhere have equal rights and opportunities.
The IWD 2024 theme is Count Her In: Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress.
The theme recognises that women’s economic empowerment is central to a gender equal world. When women are given equal opportunities to earn, learn and lead – entire communities thrive.
There are many ways that individuals, groups and organisations can get involved in IWD 2024 and share the message of Count Her In.
