Give to gain gender equity in [the US/Canada/the UK/Australia] and around the world

Take action to foster change this International Women’s Day.

International Women’s Day 2026 is on March 8. This year’s theme is “Give to Gain,” designed to “encourage a mindset of generosity and collaboration.” 

Across the globe, women face the threat of violence, workplace exclusion and discrimination, barriers to education, inadequate health care, and pressure to contribute and conform to unfair expectations. [US: Also troubling is that the World Economic Forum currently ranks the United States only 42nd for gender equality among 149 countries.] [Canada: Also troubling is that the World Economic Forum currently ranks Canada only 32nd for gender equality among 149 countries.][UK:  In the United Kingdom, women were still earning an average of 12.8% less than men as of April 2025.] [Australia: In Australia, women were still earning an average of 18.6% less than men as of March 2025.]

When you donate to this giving opportunity, you support organizations dedicated to driving change, fighting discrimination and increasing equality. Together, we can take a significant step forward towards improving quality of life for all and removing the barriers that hold back too many.
