Shubh Navratri to our Hindu friends and followers! Tonight is the beginning of the festival of 'nine nights', worshipping the Divine Mother in all her forms and celebrating the victory of good over evil, as reflected in the Goddess Durga's victory over the demon Mahisha. Navratri honours 'shakti' - the power of the divine feminine - with the first three days dedicated to Durga, the next three to Lakshmi, and the final three to Saraswati. Celebrations will vary by region, including devotional dances (garbas), gathering for special meals, preparing sweets or buying new clothes, and immersing images of Durga in water at the end of the festival.

Image Description: Text reads 'Navratri. October 11th-19th 2026.' A cartoon graphic shows a woman dancing garba barefoot, dressed in bright red, gold and white with the dandiya sticks held above her head. The WIN logo is at the bottom of the image.

Today is the International Day of the Girl - a call to action for girls rights, amplifying the voices of the next generation of women leaders. This year's theme, developed in consultations with girls' rights networks around the world, calls us to "End Child Marriage and Invest in Girls Rights". Did you know that one girl every three seconds is married before reaching adulthood? Every girl deserves access to education, the freedom to shape their own future, and for their health and wellbeing to be prioritised and protected.

Image Description: Text reads 'International Day of the Girl. October 11th 2026.' A cartoon graphic shows the silhouette of a little girl holding a balloon, looking up to the sky. The WIN logo is at the bottom of the image.

Today Jewish congregations mark the end of the annual cycle of reading the Torah and its beginning again with Genesis, representing the unbroken continuity of the Jewish scripture. It is a day of great celebration in synagogue, with a hakafot ceremony where congregants parade and dance around with the Torah scrolls so all the community can bless them for the new year. Worship will be more informal than on other holy days, with some even drinking and singing during the service.

Image Description: Text reads 'Simchat Torah. October 4th 2026.' A graphic shows a Torah scroll unfurled, marked with a golden star of David. The WIN logo is at the bottom of the image.

Today is Jashn-e Meheregan or Mihr Jashan: the Zoroastrian Autumn festival dedicated to the deity Mithra or Meher, the angel of covenants featured in many texts and traditions from the ancient world and often linked to the sun. Coinciding with the harvest, this festival is a time of thanksgiving when communities gather for special meals and visit the fire temple. Like at Noruz, a table is decorated with symbolic objects, including marjoram, pomegranates and other fruits, a burner with oils and dried herbs, a mirror, a khordeh avesta and silver coins.

Image Description: Text reads 'Jashn-e Meheregan. October 1st 2026' A graphic shows a cartoon illustration of a flowering sprig of marjoram. The WIN logo is at the bottom of the image.

Today marks the start of the Jewish festival of , also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, commemorating the 40 years the Jewish people spent in the wilderness after their liberation from Egypt. Jewish households build a temporary outdoor shelter (sukkah) with a roof open to the elements and decorated with leaves, where they eat and gather with family and friends throughout the festival. There are four plants which are key symbols of Sukkot - the palm branch (lulav), a yellow citrus (etrog), myrtle (hadas) and willow (aravah) - tying in a message of thanksgiving for the fruits of the harvest.

Image Description: Text reads 'Sukkot. September 25th - October 2nd 2026' A graphic shows a Sukkah shelter decorated with curtains, festoon lights and foliage, with a table and tablecloth topped with a bowl full of fruit. The WIN logo is at the bottom of the image.

There can be no meaningful, sustainable peace that does not centre women's voices, yet women are still so often excluded from the decision making tables, even while they bear the brunt of armed conflict around the world. The was established in 1981 as a call to action for 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire, and a reminder that sustainable development and true equality depend on peace. Here at WIN we celebrate women peace-builders, both at the macro and micro level, not just today but year round.
