The 2026 theme for International Women’s Day is: Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls.
Women and girls have the right to access inclusive, equitable legal systems. Yet this right has not been realized for Indigenous women and girls across the world, who continue to be left behind.
Indigenous Women and Girls continue to face extensive barriers to accessing justice. Guaranteeing access to justice for Indigenous women and girls goes beyond eliminating gender-based discrimination, it requires a transformational, whole of society approach to eliminate the intersecting discrimination that they face.
On we join the call for action to dismantle all barriers to justice: discriminatory laws, weak legal protections, and harmful practices and social norms that erode the rights of women and girls.
