The UN’s theme for International Women’s Day 2025 calls for “action that can unlock equal rights, power and opportunities for all”. Yet the UN also tells us that in 2025, no country has achieved gender equality, or is close to it. With so much work still to be done, this International Women’s Day, we reflect on the status of women’s rights and continue to call upon the government to recognise the shortfall in action and results on women’s rights, equality and empowerment.
