On International Women’s Day (IWD), we reflect on the gender equality gap that still exists and holds societies back from realising their full potential. The theme for IWD 2025, “For ALL women and girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment” underscores the urgency to take collective steps towards achieving gender equality and safeguarding women’s rights.
While notable progress has been made in promoting women and girls’ rights, the pace remains slow for example in technical and vocational education and training (TVET). There is need to accelerate these efforts and ensure that women are not left behind, including in sectors that hold the key to unlocking economic opportunities.
