International Women’s Day 2025: Accelerate Action Guide

International Women’s Day (IWD) is a day to celebrate women’s achievements, raise awareness about discrimination, and take action to forge gender parity.
At Canadian Women & Sport, we are committed to advancing gender equity in sport. This International Women’s Day, we’re excited to bring together leaders in sport to discuss the challenges and triumphs of women and girls in sport, and the critical work still needed to create an inclusive and equitable sport landscape for all.
