MARCH

International Women's Day on March 8th is indeed a significant day to honour women's contributions and achievements. The date was chosen to commemorate the role of women in the 1917 Russian Revolution, where women workers went on strike for "bread and peace". The United Nations officially recognized the day in 1977, helping to bring it into the mainstream.

The theme for 2025, #AccelerateAction, emphasizes the urgent need to address gender inequality and dismantle barriers that prevent women from reaching their full potential. This theme calls for collective efforts to create a more equitable world for everyone. If there a specific aspect of International Women's Day or the 2025 theme that you're particularly interested in it could be a good starting point for a discussion at a WI meeting or Subgroup.
