International Women’s Day: You are strong, brave, and destined to lead

Each year, International Women’s Day features a different theme that supports equal opportunities for women in all fields, inspires leadership, and encourages positive change.

‘Accelerate Action’ is the theme for 2025, a global call to recognise tactics, tools, and methods that support women’s progress in various areas of life.

 “Accelerate Action,” is a theme which emphasises the importance of strategic efforts to promote gender equality.

International Women’s Day draws attention to the gaps that still exist and serves as a reminder of the progress made toward gender equality. It promotes conversations about social norms and laws pertaining to women’s rights, including political representation, reproductive rights, and workplace equality. 

Focusing on the need to Accelerate Action emphasises the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality. It calls for increased momentum and urgency in addressing the systemic barriers and biases that women face, both in personal and professional spheres.

We can call out stereotypes, challenge discrimination, question bias, celebrate women’s success, and so much more. Additionally, sharing our knowledge and encouragement with others is key.
Let’s encourage others to help accelerate action within their own sphere of influence.

You are strong, brave, and destined to lead. Happy women’s days
