International Women's Day
International Women’s Day is 8 March 2025. This year’s global theme, “Accelerate Action,” emphasizes the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality. Together, we can work collectively to make a positive impact for change and forge a fair and equal world in all aspects of our lives, including workplaces, communities, learning institutions, and beyond.
Our Women in the Profession Committee is harnessing the energy and spirit of International Women’s Day to raise awareness against bias and take action for equality.
