International Women’s Day (IWD) 2025, under the theme “Innovate for Inclusion,” champions the crucial role of innovation in breaking down barriers and fostering a more equitable world for women and girls. This theme resonates deeply with the mission of “What Women Need,” particularly in the realm of sports.

Sports offer a powerful platform for empowerment, building confidence, leadership skills, and resilience. However, women often face significant obstacles, from lack of funding and facilities to societal expectations. “Innovate for Inclusion” encourages us to develop creative solutions – new training methodologies, accessible programs, and inclusive policies – that ensure every woman and girl has the opportunity to participate and excel in sports. By embracing innovation, we can amplify the voices of female athletes and inspire a new generation to reach their full potential, both on and off the field.
