International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day (IWD) – 8 March – is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women, who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.

For over 30 years, UN Women Australia has hosted Australia’s pre-eminent IWD fundraising events, drawing together people from diverse backgrounds to celebrate global achievements, agitate for change and raise life-changing funds to support the world’s women and girls.

Attending our official IWD events is a fantastic way to celebrate women’s achievements and show your friends, family, colleagues and community that you support the world’s largest movement for gender equality.

In 2022, UN Women Australia will be holding our IWD events in Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and online on Friday 4 March 2022.

IWD 2022 Theme

The global theme for International Women’s Day 2022 will be announced soon. It will anchored to the CSW 66 (2022) Priority Theme: Achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls in the context of climate change, environmental and natural disaster risk reduction policies and programmes. Gender equality and climate change are two inseparable issues facing today’s society. Every day, women are disproportionately impacted by climate change and its devastating consequences. Yet, as the most affected, women are also critical to rapid responses and prevention. Every day, inspiring and resilient women are at the forefront of protecting our planet.
