International Women's Day: 2026


This day takes me to the women of Iran. As war rages and uncertainty spreads across the region - Iranian women continue to live under immense pressure - caught between conflict and a system that has long restricted their freedoms. Yet even in the face of danger, their courage continues to inspire the world. From protests in the streets to quiet acts of defiance in everyday life, many have risked everything simply to claim the basic rights their sisters around the world have achieved.


The potential of regime change creates hope that they may one day be able to choose their own paths, express themselves without fear and male domination, no longer have to hide their faces, and be able to participate in shaping their country's destiny.


International Women's Day reminds us that the fight for equality is far from finished globally. For some women it is still a daily struggle for dignity, autonomy, and freedom.
