International Women’s Day (IWD), observed annually on March 8th, is a global celebration of women’s social, economic, cultural, and political achievements. It also serves as a powerful call to action for accelerating gender equality. Across the United Kingdom, this day is marked by events, campaigns, and initiatives that honour the invaluable contributions of women and advocate for a more inclusive future.
At Zenith People, we proudly embrace the spirit of International Women’s Day, underscoring our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and the empowerment of women—both within our organisation and in the wider community.
IWD 2025: Accelerating Action
The theme for International Women’s Day 2025 is “Accelerate Action,” urging urgent and decisive steps to achieve gender equality. At the current rate of progress, it could take until 2158—roughly five generations, to reach full gender parity, according to data from the World Economic Forum. This stark reality highlights the need to dismantle systemic barriers and biases that continue to hold women back in both personal and professional spheres.
As a recruitment company, Zenith People is actively working to address these challenges for both our clients and candidates. We are committed to promoting gender diversity in the workplace, advocating for inclusive hiring practices, ensuring equitable opportunities for women across all industries, and supporting career development initiatives that empower female professionals.
