8 March 2026 — On International Women’s Day, the European Commission celebrates the power of women across Europe and beyond.
This year, we highlight:
• Challenging gender stereotypes
• Increasing women’s participation in decision-making
• Ending violence against women and girls
The power is in us — in women shaping policy, driving innovation, building communities, and leading change every day. When women thrive, Europe thrives.
