International Women's Day In 2025

International Women's Day (IWD) celebrated on March 8th was originally called International Working Women's Day. The earliest Women’s Day observance in the USA was held on February 28th 1909 in New York in remembrance of the 1908 strike of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union. Every year there’s a theme & this year it’s “Accelerate Action” for gender equality & calling for increased momentum & urgency in addressing the systemic barriers & biases that women face both in personal & professional spheres. At the current rate of progress it will take until 2158 which is roughly 5 generations from now to reach full gender equality according to data from the World Economic Forum & that doesn’t even include the setbacks here in the USA with the current administration bent on dissolving all the achievements we have made in the last few decades. As thousands of Americans take to the streets to protest recent executive orders including the removal of Diversion, Equality & Inclusion from our vocabulary focusing on the need to “Accelerate Action” couldn’t be more vital to our global community. We must emphasize the importance of taking swift & decisive steps to achieve gender equality & call for increased momentum & urgency in addressing the systemic barriers & biases that women face both personally & professionally. Everyone needs to recognize the unique perspectives & contributions of women from all walks of life including those from marginalized communities especially our LGBTQ community. Gloria Steinem stated, "The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights."
