International Women’s Day 2026, Sue Spiller, Sobus CEO

International Women’s Day (IWD) is marked annually on March 8. It’s the biggest women-focused day of the year and sees groups worldwide celebrate and support women’s advancement in their own special, most relevant way. All IWD activity is valid, that’s what makes IWD so inclusive.

The theme of IWD 2026 is “Give To Gain”, encouraging a mindset of generosity and collaboration.

Give To Gain emphasizes the power of reciprocity and support. When people, organizations, and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase. Giving is not a subtraction, it’s intentional multiplication. When women thrive, we all rise.

Whether through donations, knowledge, resources, infrastructure, visibility, advocacy, education, training, mentoring, or time, contributing to women’s advancement helps create a more supportive and interconnected world.

If you are planning an event or activity that could highlight the role of women in the VCSE, please shout out and we can publicise.

Info on this year’s campaign and IWD events can be found here: https://www.internationalwomensday.com
