07 Mar International Women’s Day 2025

International Women’s Day on March 8th 2025 is a call to break down systemic barriers and create a more equitable world. This year’s theme “Accelerate Action,” highlights the need to address gender disparities in physical activity.

According to the World Health Organization, 85% of adolescent girls do not meet recommended activity levels, compared to 78% of boys. The Global Matrix 4.0 evaluation report urges future assessments to consider gender differences to better address these gaps.

Closing this disparity requires action and by prioritizing gender equity in physical activity, we can empower girls to have healthier and more active lives.
