This year’s global theme calls us to #AccelerateAction towards gender equality. Together, we envision a world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination—a world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive, where difference is valued and celebrated.
As we gather to honour International Women’s Day’s rich history spanning over a century, we recognise that many of the issues impacting women’s advancement still persist.
This is why we must act now.
The World Economic Forum reports that at our current pace, achieving full gender parity could take 134 years—that’s five generations away, projected for 2158.
We invite you to be part of this significant event where we will:
- Celebrate women’s achievements
- Raise awareness about ongoing challenges
- Connect with like-minded individuals committed to positive change
- Explore ways to accelerate progress in our community
