The official theme for International Women’s Day 2025 is For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment. This theme was adopted by the United Nations and widely promoted by UN Women and global partners, with the aim to include every woman and girl in the journey toward equal rights and opportunity.

This theme marks the thirty-third anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, issued in 1995. It underscores the urgent need to ensure that no one is left behind in the pursuit of gender justice. The emphasis is on global inclusion, equal access to education, health, political voice, and economic opportunities.:contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Key elements of this theme:

• Rights: Universal entitlement for women and girls to legal protection in all societies;


• Equality: Equal status in decision-making, leadership, and community participation;


• Empowerment: Access to education, finance, technology, and policy participation;


• Inclusivity: Focus on women and girls from all backgrounds – rural, urban, disabled, indigenous, or displaced;


• Timeframe: Aligns with global goals such as UN Sustainable Development Goal 5 for gender equality.

The theme acts as a global call to action. Advocates, governments, non‑profits, and local communities held events, campaigns, and policy dialogues under this message. It encouraged collective action to address systemic barriers and accelerate progress worldwide.

The theme is sometimes accompanied by a campaign slogan used by global event organizers—“Accelerate Action” — emphasizing urgency in closing gender gaps. However, the official UN theme remains focused on rights, equality, and empowerment for all women and girls.:contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

This message is featured on banners, publications, and seminars across the globe on 8 March 2025. It invites everyone to reflect on past achievements, recognize remaining inequalities, and commit to inclusive action for change.
