International Women’s Day is celebrated annually to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities. This year’s theme, “For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment”, reinforces the urgent need for inclusive and intersectional advocacy that ensures no woman or girl is left behind in the pursuit of social, economic, and political justice. As we navigate a world of evolving challenges and opportunities, IWD 2025 calls for collective action to dismantle
systemic barriers, bridge gender gaps, and create an environment where women of all backgrounds, identities, and abilities can thrive with equal rights, opportunities, and dignity.
This year, the emphasis is on fostering collaborative solutions, policy reforms, and grassroots movements that amplify the voices of women, accelerate progress toward gender parity, and secure a future where empowerment is a reality for all. In order to achieve the objectives, set under the Global Strategy by United Nations and celebrate International Women Day, Cyntax Health Projects Pvt Ltd is organizing “2nd Pakistan International Women’s Day Conference (PIWDC 25)”, a landmark event dedicated to promoting gender equality, women’s rights, and empowerment. Building upon the success of the inaugural conference, this year’s event is designed to bring together policymakers, civil society leaders, academics, entrepreneurs, corporate stakeholders, and grassroots activists to discuss challenges and solutions for achieving an inclusive, gender-equal Pakistan. This conference emphasizes the need for inclusive and intersectional gender advocacy that ensures every woman and girl—regardless of socioeconomic background, ability, or ethnicity—has access to opportunities, resources, and protections that enable them to thrive.
