International Women’s Day (IWD) 2025 is set to be celebrated on March 8, under the theme ‘Make it Happen: Turn Women’s Voices into Action.’ This year’s focus aims to highlight the importance of women’s rights and gender equality in all spheres of life. The day serves not only as a celebration of achievements but also as a reminder of the ongoing struggles women face globally. UN Women has emphasized that the theme encourages individuals, communities, and organizations to reflect on progress made and to mobilize greater support for women’s empowerment and rights. Additionally, the history surrounding IWD is rich, with roots in the early 20th century’s labor movement, advocating for women’s suffrage, better work conditions, and overall equality. Activities planned for the day include rallies, workshops, and educational events aimed at raising awareness about women’s issues and promoting gender parity worldwide. ‘We must ensure that the voices of women are heard and that they are actively involved in decision-making roles,’ echoed a UN Women representative. As we approach 2025, let us unite to make a substantial impact on the feminist movement, ensuring that every woman’s voice counts.
