International Women's Day (IWD)
2027-03-08
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.

International Women’s Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. It is a day when all women are recognised for their achievements. International Women’s Day was first born out of labour movements at the turn of the twentieth century in North America and across Europe.

Since those early days, International Women’s Day has grown in prominence and reach, touching women in every corner of the world. The growing international women’s movement has helped make International Women’s Day a central point for action, to build support for women’s rights and their full participation in the economy, politics, community and in everyday life.

International Wheelchair Day
2027-03-01
International Wheelchair Day is always recognised on March 1. It’s an annual day of events and activities which take place around the world when wheelchair users celebrate the positive impact a wheelchair has on their lives.

Since it was first launched in 2008, celebrations have taken place in Australia, Nepal, Senegal, South Africa, Bangladesh, Pakistan, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
It has continued to grow year after year and we look forward to this year being bigger and better than ever.
Why not organise your own personal celebration? You could involve your school, college, place of work, a charitable organisation or even the community in celebrating the enormous impact that the humble wheelchair has on people’s lives throughout the world?

International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women
2026-11-25
Violence against women and girls is one of the most widespread violations of human rights. According to a 2013 WHO global study, 35 per cent of women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual violence. However, some national studies show that up to 70 per cent of women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime from an intimate partner.
To raise awareness and trigger action to end this global scourge, the UN observes International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on 25 November. The date marks the brutal assassination in 1960 of the three Mirabal sisters, political activists in the Dominican Republic. Every year, 25 November and the ensuing 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence which follow (ending on 10 December, Human Rights Day) are commemorated around the world, providing individuals and groups a chance to mobilise and call attention to the urgent need to end violence against women and girls. Ending violence against women is one of UN Women’s key priority areas.

Each year, 9 August is observed globally as International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. It’s a day to reflect on the challenges Indigenous peoples face all over the world and to take steps toward promoting and protecting their rights. The event recognises and honours their achievements, and it’s also a great time to reflect on and celebrate Indigenous culture, tradition, and heritage.
