On International Women’s Day National Council of Women GB is sending 6 delegates to the UN Commission on the Status of Women in New York.
Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls
Today, rally with women and girls around the world to demand equal rights and equal justice to enforce, exercise, and enjoy those rights.
Nowadays, no nation has closed the legal gaps between men and women. Right now, women have only 64 per cent of the legal rights that men hold worldwide. In fundamental areas of life, including work, money, safety, family, property, mobility, business, and retirement – the law systematically disadvantages women.
International Women’s Day 2026 (IWD 2026), under the theme, “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls”, calls for action to dismantle all barriers to equal justice: discriminatory laws, weak legal protections, and harmful practices and social norms that erode the rights of women and girls.
