What is International Women’s Day?

International Women’s Day is a day when we celebrate the wonderful women in our lives. It’s a day to recognise and mark their brilliance. It’s also a chance to reflect on the challenges women all over the world still face and how we might tackle them.

The theme for International Women's Day 2025 is #AccelerateAction. It challenges us all to move quicker when it comes to gender parity and invites the world to do more, more quickly, to support women. Now is the time to foreground female achievement and champion the words and work of women and girls.

Who celebrates International Women’s Day?

International Women’s Day is a global celebration. In many countries it’s an official holiday. Some places choose to celebrate it in a similar way to Mother’s Day or Father’s Day – giving gifts, sending flowers and celebrating the women in their lives – others see it as an opportunity to campaign and encourage activism. Many businesses also take the chance to get involved, running their own initiatives to improve equality and celebrate women, us included.
