International Women's Day 2026

March 8 was International Women's Day. Here is part of a statement from the International Organization for Migration on the day:

"On International Women’s Day (IWD) 2026, under the theme “Rights, Justice, Action: For All Women and Girls,” the International Organization for Migration (IOM) stands in solidarity with migrant, displaced, diaspora, and host community women and girls. It is a moment to reaffirm commitments and push for action so that their rights are realized in everyday life, not just on paper.

Too many women and girls on the move continue to face barriers to justice, protection, and essential services, driven by structural inequalities, gaps in legal identity, and chronic underfunding that leave them exposed to violence, exclusion, and prolonged insecurity."
