2024 THEME
INSPIRE INCLUSION
1. This year’s themes: Investing in women and inspiring inclusion
International Women’s Day is marked on 8 March each year. It was first recognised by the UN in 1977, though it has earlier roots in the labour movements of the early 20th century.[1] For 2024, UN Women’s theme is ‘Invest in women: Accelerate progress’, focusing on the fifth sustainable development goal of achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls by 2030.[2] UN member states, including the UK, adopted the sustainable development agenda in 2015.[3]
