International Women’s History Month 2025: How it started and why it’s so important
International Women’s History Month stands as an important reminder for the contributions women have made towards society, culture and history. Its principles focus on celebrating women’s achievements and striving for a world with gender equality.
Each year, the National Women’s History Alliance designates a theme for the month. For 2025, the theme is “Moving Forward Together,” spotlighting “women educating and inspiring generations.” This theme is meant to highlight and support women who have dedicated their lives to education, mentorship and leadership to shape the minds and futures of all generations.
International Women’s Day, celebrated March 8,, is themed “For ALL women and girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.” This is a call to action demanding equal rights, power and opportunities for all where no one is left behind, according to the United Nations.
