Why International Women’s Day is a Call to Accelerate Action
International Women’s Day 2025 carries the theme Accelerate Action, emphasizing the need to push for faster progress in gender equality. From its beginnings in 1911 as a labor movement to its current role as a global advocacy platform, IWD highlights both achievements and the work that remains. This year’s theme is a call to move beyond discussions and take real steps toward change—whether by supporting women in leadership, promoting financial inclusion, or breaking societal barriers. In Nigeria and beyond, access to funding remains a major challenge for many women, making financial empowerment a key driver of progress. As we celebrate IWD 2025, the focus should be on action. Are we just recognizing achievements, or are we actively shaping a future where gender equality is a reality? The time to act is now.posted by Admin on 6 Mar, 2025
