International Women's Day
International Women’s Day (IWD), celebrated each year on 8 March, marks a global moment to recognise the achievements of women and highlight the work still needed to advance gender equality. Now in its 115th year, IWD remains a powerful call to action for organisations, communities and leaders around the world.
Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL women and girls.
For 2026, Baringa is proud to align with the United Nations’ global theme: Rights. Justice. Action. For all women and girls. Developed by UN Women, the theme draws on global policy, data and lived experience, offering a unifying foundation for organisations committed to driving meaningful change.
By adopting the UN theme, we are reaffirming our commitment to championing women’s rights and ensuring our initiatives resonate across the regions in which we work. This approach supports a more inclusive and globally relevant conversation, both within Baringa and with our clients.
To mark International Women’s Day 2026, members of our Gender Diversity Network and selected colleagues from across our international teams are contributing to a dedicated IWD LinkedIn campaign. Through personal pledges aligned to the UN theme, they share what Rights. Justice. Action. means in their work and leadership. We invite you to follow the campaign on LinkedIn and join the conversation.
