Thailand Ring The Bell for Gender Equality 2025 - For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment

Event description
Although significant progress has been made in advancing women's rights since the adoption of the Beijing Platform for Action in 1995, the world now faces overlapping crises and a concerning rollback of rights. This International Women’s Day, UN Women invites everyone to push forward in the fight for women’s rights, as the world cannot afford to lose ground.
The year 2025 represents a crucial milestone in the global journey toward gender equality and women’s empowerment, commemorating 30 years since the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. With only five years remaining to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, the theme for this year emphasizes the urgency of ensuring equal rights, opportunities, and power for all, and envisioning a feminist future that leaves no one behind. At the heart of this vision is the empowerment of the next generation—particularly young women and adolescent girls—who are essential drivers of sustainable and transformative change.
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:
- Celebrate and elevate the voices and stories of women and girls in all their diversity.
- Document and showcase challenges faced by women and girls, including the intersecting forms of discrimination. Highlight the support needed or actions taken to remove barriers, enabling women and girls to fully realize their potential and contribute to sustainable development.
- Raise awareness of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the significance of Beijing+30, aligning with the overarching theme of IWD 2025 and the sixty-ninth session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69).
- Communicate as One UN voice to reaffirm the collective commitment of UN agencies towards gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls, leveraging the key IWD 2025 opportunity.
