The theme for International Women's Day in 2024 is 'DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality.' This theme reflects the importance of access to technology and digital literacy in empowering women and girls globally. It also focuses on safeguarding the digital rights of women and girls and addressing the issue of online gender-based violence.

Celebrating International Women’s Day is crucial for recognising women's diverse achievements across the globe. It's also an important reminder that many women still face significant barriers in achieving their full potential, with fundamental rights like health and education often compromised.

Thus, International Women's Day serves as an annual reminder to continue advocating for equality and working towards a more inclusive and equitable world.
