International Women's Day 2025

The International Women’s Day 2025 theme is March Forward.

Thirty years ago, the world committed to a bold vision for gender equality, the United Nations' Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.

Since then, we’ve seen women break barriers, reshape policies, and ignite global movements. Yet, despite these strides, the promises made remain largely unfulfilled for millions of women worldwide. We are simply not where we should be.

It’s time to turn promises into progress.

Join us for International Women’s Day 2025 to commemorate Beijing+30 and #MarchForward for a gender equal future.

Whether your a business looking to celebrate with our IWD@Work package or host your own fundraiser in your school or community, there are plenty of ways you can support the world's women and girls this International Women's Day. 

UN Women is committed to achieving gender equality for all women, empowering them to contribute their unique knowledge and skills to help create a better world for themselves, their families and their communities. Working in over 100 countries across the globe, UN Women runs vital programs that provide women and girls access to technology, training programs and safe spaces, empowering women and girls to obtain an education, become leaders in their community and build a brighter, more equal future for us all.

But we can’t do it alone.

UN Women Australia relies entirely on voluntary contributions from governments, the private sector and passionate, generous individuals like you.

Individuals who are committed to ensuring gender equality and women’s empowerment. By giving generously at our IWD events, donating during March, or fundraising in your workplace, community or school, you will be working alongside us to ensure women and girls are not left behind. Your gift will help ensure women and girls have access to support services and opportunities to learn, earn and lead.
