International Women's Day (IWD) is a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women through history to the present day. 

Held annually on 8th March, IWD has been marked around the world for over 100 years and is an opportunity to ensure that women and girls have the same opportunities to succeed now and in the future.

The IWD 2025 campaign theme is #AccelerateAction.

For International Women's Day and beyond, let's all commit to accelerate action.

Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination.

A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive.

A world where difference is valued and celebrated.

Together we can forge gender equality.

Collectively for #IWD2025 we can all #AccelerateAction.

The International Women's Day community provide brilliant resources to help you champion positive difference, whether in the classroom or at home;

To mark this important date we have a 30 books that celebrate women's achievements, raise awareness against gender bias and take action for equality.
