Today's Prayer

International Women’s Day

Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where
difference is valued and celebrated.

International Women’s Day has been celebrated for over a century, as many of the issues still affect the progress of women and girls worldwide. The theme for
International Women’s Day 2026 is ‘Give To Gain’, which promotes a mindset of
generosity and collaboration. When individuals, organisations, and communities
give generously, opportunities and support for women grow. Whether through
donations, knowledge, resources, infrastructure, visibility, advocacy, education,
training, mentoring, or time, contributing to women’s progress helps build a
more supportive and connected world.

God of justice and compassion, we give thanks for women and girls everywhere. Bless all who work for equality and inclusion. Inspire us to give to gain, to share our time, skills, and hearts, so that together we may build a world where every woman’s gift is valued, and every girl’s future is bright. Amen.
