Themes for international women's day for the last five years

According to UN Women, this year’s International Women’s Day, on March 8, 2025, is celebrated under the theme “For all women and girls: Rights, Equality, Empowerment".

The organisation stated that the theme calls for action that can unlock equal rights, power, and opportunities for all and a feminist future where no one is left behind.

“Central to this vision is empowering the next generation—youth, particularly young women and adolescent girls—as catalysts for lasting change,” UN Women said.

The event honours women's achievements in various fields and promotes gender equality. It also celebrates their contributions to society, economy, culture and politics.
