INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 2026
THEME : 'GIVE TO GAIN '
When we give, we gain.
Together, let's help forge gender equality through abundant giving.
The IWD 2026 Give To Gain Campaign encourages 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.
What will you Give to Gain gender equality?
We can all give our support to gain advancement for women and girls.
As individuals, giving support means calling out stereotypes, challenging discrimination, questioning bias, celebrating women’s success, and more. Sharing our knowledge and encouragement with others is also key.
Giving our support to help advance gender equality reinforces a sense of connection and purpose. This creates an important ripple effect for spreading impact.
Whether an individual, organization or community group, here are some great ideas for supporting the IWD 2026 Give To Gain campaign all year long.
At work, at home, and in the community, there are many ways to overtly advance women.
