The campaign theme for IDW 2019 is #BalanceforBetter.  (Better the Balance, Better the World.)

A call-to-Action for driving gender balance across the world.  How will you help to make a difference?  Women have come a long way yet there is still more to achieve.

IWD is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.  The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

IWD has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland.  Prior to this the Socialist Party of America, United Kingdom’s Suffragists and Suffragettes, and further groups campaigned for women’s equality.

Today IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere.

IWD is not country, group or organisation specific.

Make IWD your day – everyday.
