International Women’s Day is an annual celebration, taking place every year on the 8th of March.

The next International Women’s Day will be celebrated on Sunday, the 8th of March 2026.

The theme of International Women’s Day 2026 is Give to Gain.

The purpose of this theme is to promote the importance of generosity and collaboration, emphasising that when people, organisations or communities give generously, women’s opportunities and support for women increase.

International Women’s Day, celebrated on the 8th of March, can be marked in many meaningful ways—from hosting panel discussions to running community initiatives. One of the most powerful ways is to hire a keynote speaker who embodies this year’s theme, Give to Gain. The theme highlights the strength found in reciprocity; when women support each other, everyone moves forward. A keynote speaker can bring this message to life through stories of collaboration, mentorship, and shared success. Whether addressing employees, students, or business leaders, they inspire audiences to give their time, knowledge, and encouragement—creating lasting change and empowering women across every level of society.
