The International Women’s Day (IWD) 2026 podcast is themed “Advancing Rights, Justice and Action for Women and Girls.” This theme highlights the urgent global and national imperative to strengthen gender equality, promote justice systems responsive to women’s realities, and accelerate meaningful action across policy, economic, and social spheres. This podcast conversation leverages the strength of the NESG on policies and the Policy Innovation Centre (PIC) on innovation. The podcast aims to spark meaningful dialogue, amplify evidence, and highlight actionable policy and societal solutions for accelerating progress for women and girls.
