A Call to Action
We won’t accept a world where violence, inequality and getting away with it are just
“normal.” On the International Women’s Day 2026, we demand bold steps to challenge

austerity and debt, shield feminist movements and guarantee universal social protection
based on rights. We must ensure that no woman or girl is left behind.
