Ways you can support International Women’s Day 2025

International Women’s Day is an opportunity to use our voices to call for equality, safety and opportunity for ALL women and girls. This year’s theme, ‘March Forward: For ALL Women and Girls’, reflects on progress made for gender equality, while recognising the ongoing challenges that prevent millions of women and girls from achieving their full potential. The theme calls for urgent action to unlock equal rights and opportunities to create a future where no one is left behind.

At the heart of this vision is empowering the next generation - young women, adolescent girls and male allies – as catalysts for lasting change.

Together, we can be the generation to close the gap to achieve gender equality.

UN Women Australia is calling on the community to take action and Gather for Good to raise funds this IWD. Raising funds is a tangible way you, your family and friends, can support programs and transform policy that will set change in motion.

You can Gather anytime in March to celebrate IWD, and no matter how big or small your gathering is, it’s all about coming together, connecting, building awareness and raising funds for a better, more equitable future. Visit Gather for Good here for ideas and to register.
