International Women's Day 2025
March Forward: For ALL Women and Girls
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.
International Women’s Day in 2025 will commemorate 30 years since 189 countries unanimously adopted the ‘Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action’ for gender equality in 1995. It is considered a key global policy document on gender equality.
The IWD 2025 theme is 'March Forward: For ALL Women and Girls'
The theme reminds us that forward momentum is essential to turn commitments into action. It’s time to turn promises in progress. There are many ways that individuals, groups and organisations can get involved in IWD 2025 and share the message of 'March Forward: For ALL Women and Girls'. For more information, see the UN Women announcement: March Forward: UN Women Australia Announces International Women’s Day 2025 theme.
