International Women’s Day 2025 Theme: #AccelerateAction

At the current rate of progress, it will take until 2158 — roughly five generations from now — to achieve full gender parity, according to the World Economic Forum. 

This year’s International Women’s Day theme, #AccelerateAction, calls for bold and decisive steps to reach gender equality faster.

To keep up momentum, we've asked our network of youth advocates across the Commonwealth to submit an #AccelerateAction message in any format they like: video, essay, letter. That way, they're raising their voice, inspiring action and helping shape the conversation.  

Let’s continue to #AccelerateAction together!
