International Women's Day is a celebration of women’s contributions to history, culture and society and has been observed annually in the month of March in the United States since 1987.
Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women's equality. Collectively for #IWD2025 we can all #AccelerateAction. (www.internationalwomensday.com).
