International Women Day 2025 Group Discussion

The international women’s day is marked annually in recognition of the sterling contributions of women to humanity. The day also serves to bring to the front burner, the institutional challenges that women are confronted with across the globe.

In keeping with this laudable tradition, 8th of March 2025 has been designated as the international women’s day. Across the world, the day will be marked with events that educate, advocates, and supports women’s rights.

The continuation of IWD as over the years earned the day its place as one of the most important dates each year.

The theme for 2025 IWD is ‘‘Accelerate Actions:Collectively We Can Accelerate Actions for Gender Equality’’. The theme seeks to amongst others brings to our consciousness the urgency to accelerate actions that can collectively catalyse actions for gender equality.

While the subject matter of gender inequalitycannot be overemphasized. What appears pertinent is the remedial to the identified problem which is diverse and multifaceted. Accordingly, it has become imperative that remedial are in accordance with local peculiarities.

Towards this end, we invite members of the gender and economics working group and the larger Young Scholars Initiative to a webinarwhere each participant will be afforded an opportunity to present the problem as it is predominant in specific localities and share perspectives on possible ways to address the challenge.

The proposed discussion will be against the backdrop of women and the economics of inequality.

This will add to the commiseration and serve as a round off to the 2025 International Women Day.
