About International Women’s Day - (3 Offices)
On 8 March 2025, UNPA celebrated International Women’s Day with the issuance of six stamps and a souvenir card.
This year’s theme is: “For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment which calls for action that can unlock equal rights, power and opportunities for all and a feminist future where no one is left behind.
Central to this vision is empowering the next generation—youth, particularly young women and adolescent girls—as catalyst for lasting change.
The year 2025 is a pivotal moment in the global pursuit of gender equality and women’s empowerment, as it marks the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.
Adopted at the Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995 in Beijing, China, by 189 governments, the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action remains the most progressive and widely endorsed blueprint for women’s and girls’ rights worldwide.
The Platform guides policies, programmes and investment that impact critical areas of our lives, such as: education, health, peace, media, political participation, economic empowerment, and the elimination of violence against women and girls.
Addressing these issues, along with emerging priorities around climate justice and the power of digital technologies, is urgent, with just five years left to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
Under the banner of UN Women’s global campaign to mark the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, “For ALL Women and Girls”, this year’s International Women’s Day is a rallying cry to take action in three key areas:
1. Advance women’s and girls’ rights: Fight relentlessly for women’s and girls’ full range of human rights, challenging all forms of violence, discrimination, and exploitation.
2. Promote gender equality: Address systemic barriers, dismantle patriarchy, transform entrenched inequities, and elevate the voices of marginalised women and girls, including young people, to ensure inclusivity and empowerment.
3. Foster empowerment: Redefine power structures by ensuring inclusive access to education, employment, leadership, and decision-making spaces. Prioritize opportunities for young women and girls to lead and innovate.
A souvenir card with a statement by the Secretary-General of the United Nations and Sima Bahous, Executive Director of UN Women was also be issued on the same day.
