International Women’s Day 2026 (IWD 2026), under the theme, “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls”, calls for action to dismantle all barriers to equal justice: discriminatory laws, weak legal protections, and harmful practices and social norms that erode the rights of women and girls.

Nowadays, no nation has closed the legal gaps between men and women. Right now, women have only 64 per cent of the legal rights that men hold worldwide. In fundamental areas of life, including work, money, safety, family, property, mobility, business, and retirement – the law systematically disadvantages women.

This year’s commemoration comes at a pivotal political moment to place justice at the center of the global debate. It takes place just ahead of the opening of the United Nations’ largest annual forum on gender equality and women’s rights worldwide, formally known as the Commission on the Status of Women (9-19 March).
