As we celebrate International Women’s Day 2025, let us be reminded that true gender equality must uplift and include all women, everywhere. This year’s theme, "For all women and all: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.", reinforces the urgent need for collective action to ensure that no woman is left behind in the pursuit of justice, opportunity, and dignity.
Women of all backgrounds, abilities, and circumstances deserve access to education, economic security, safety, and leadership opportunities. Achieving true equality requires dismantling systemic barriers, challenging biases, and fostering environments where women can thrive.
Empowerment is more than just a vision—it’s a call to action. Investing in women strengthens communities, drives economic growth, and creates a more just and prosperous future for all.
This IWD 2025, let’s turn our commitment into action:
✅ Advocate – Raise awareness about gender equality and speak up against discrimination in your community and workplace.
✅ Support – Mentor and uplift women, especially those facing additional barriers.
✅ Give Back – Volunteer or donate to organizations dedicated to women's education, safety, and economic empowerment.
✅ Educate – Learn and share knowledge about gender issues to inspire meaningful conversations and change.
✅ Engage – Encourage policies and initiatives that promote women's rights and inclusion in all sectors.
To assist you in crafting programmes and actions, you may want to refer to the SISEAP IWD 2025 tool kit in the February eSPAN, also available from the link below.
Let’s unite in championing a world where every woman has the rights, opportunities, and support she deserves. Because when all women rise, society rises with them.
