International Women's Day 2026

On International Women's Day 2025 we celebrate the potential of women and girls to transform our economies and societies. When women and girls have the chance to fully contribute their talents, they create jobs, drive innovation, and fuel economic growth. Ensuring more and better jobs for women is ensuring a more prosperous world for all.

We share stories of entrepreneurs, community members, caregivers, students -- women -- all overcoming barriers to advance their businesses, livelihoods, and communities.
