Saturday 8 March marks International Women’s Day – a global celebration of the achievements of women and a call to action for gender equality.
This year’s theme, “March Forward: For ALL Women and Girls,” marks the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action – the world’s most ambitious roadmap for women’s rights. While progress has been made, systemic inequalities, rising violence, and economic disparities continue to hold women and girls back.
The world cannot afford to step back. Now is the time to turn promises into progress.
Join us as we #MarchForward to accelerate change, empower future generations, and build a more equal world for all women and girls.
Below is a list of where you can catch our #SuperstarsOfSTEM and the events put on by our member organisations.
