On 8 March 2025, join GAIN in celebrating International Women’s Day under the powerful theme:
"For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment."
This year, we’re calling for bold actions that unlock equal rights, power, and opportunities for every woman and girl—no matter where they are. It’s a reminder that gender equality isn’t just a goal—it’s a right.
This year's World Food Day theme, "Right to Food for a Better Life and Future", underscores the urgent need to address the global hunger crisis.
Despite producing enough food to feed the world, an alarming 733 million people still face hunger due to a complex interplay of factors, including climate shocks, conflicts, and inequality caused by the steep rise in food prices.
