International Women’s Day 2026 Rally and March

Date/Time
Saturday, March 7, 2026
11:00 am


Join us to celebrate International Women’s Day, and rally with women and girls around the world to demand equal rights – and equal justice to enforce, exercise, and enjoy those rights.

As UN Women reminds, “no nation has closed yet the legal gaps between men and women. In 2026, women have only 64 per cent of the legal rights that men hold worldwide. In fundamental areas of life, including work, money, safety, family, property, mobility, business, and retirement – the law systematically disadvantages women. From harmful social norms to discriminatory laws, women and girls continue to face entrenched obstacles – even pushback – to equal justice. If progress continues at its current pace, it will take 286 years to close legal protection gaps.”

This year’s theme, “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls”, marks “a moment to amplify our collective determination. No matter how deeply rooted the sexism or how discouraging the politics, we refuse to step back. Instead, we climb together – for the rights and empowerment of all women and girls.”

Join us in Toronto for the International Women’s Day rally and march, under the slogan Rise and resist, united for a new world.
