What’s the theme of IWD 2025?

The theme for International Women’s Day 2025 is ‘Accelerate Action’. This year’s campaign calls for urgent, transformative change to speed up progress towards gender equality on a global scale.

At the current rate of progress, it will take until 2158 – which is roughly five generations from now – to reach full gender equality, according to data from the World Economic Forum.

By emphasising the need for swift and decisive action, IWD aims to break down systemic barriers and biases that impact women both personally and professionally. The goal is to inspire individuals, businesses and governments to work together to create lasting change for all women.
