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.

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.
