World Health Day serves as a reminder of the urgent need to ensure equitable and accessible healthcare for all. The 2025 theme, “Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures,” recognizes the maternal and newborn health as the foundation of long-term well-being and societal progress.

In governance, women are more likely to ratify international environmental treaties and have inclusive climate policies. “International Women’s Day” is an opportunity to rejoice in the progress made towards achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment, but also to critically reflect on those accomplishments and strive for greater momentum. This day commemorates the beauty, diversity, and achievements of women
