IWD 2025 - ‘March Forward’

‘It’s time to turn promises into progress’ - UN Women Australia

As we approach IWD 2025, this Saturday the 8th of March, it’s important to recognise the progress made and also that we have a long way to go. While women globally and locally are still facing inequalities, gender based violence and economic discrimination we will not stop.

‘March Forward’ is a statement of action, not a sentiment. We must as a society move forward and move forward now.

It’s important to note that this is a call to all, not just for women to do the footwork. Women have done society's heavy lifting for far too long and this is a call for all of our communities to stand for the protection, the justice and respect of women. 

It’s also a day of celebration for the strength, the resilience and for the trail blazers whose grit and determination inspire us all to demand change for this generation and the next.
