International Women's Day is a day of unity, celebration, reflection, advocacy, and action and is celebrated in many countries worldwide. It is an occasion to highlight the advancements made in the pursuit of gender equality and the challenges that still need to be overcome, at home and abroad. The Government of Canada’s theme for International Women’s Day (IWD) 2024 is Invest in women: Accelerate progress.
