#IWD2025 THEME

The theme for 2025 International Women’s Day is Accelerate Action. A call for a collective effort to drive gender equality forward.

At the current rate, achieving full gender parity will take 134 years, or five generations, according to the World Economic Forum – a timeline that demands faster action.

Accelerate Action emphasizes the need for bold, decisive steps to address the systemic barriers women face. Together, we can increase momentum and create a future where gender equality becomes a reality sooner than expected. Let’s act together now. Join us for International Women’s Day!
