International Women's Day 2026

What happens when women and girls have equal rights and opportunities?

From peace negotiations to climate action, technology, science and culture — women are shaping a more inclusive and sustainable future.

In the UN’s global video message for International Women’s Day, voices from around the world come together — including UN Secretary-General António Guterres and global cultural figures and SDG advocates such as Michelle Yeoh.

We are proud that Kazakhstan is also represented in this global message. Kaliya, Honorary Ambassador of UNFPA Kazakhstan, joined prominent global voices advocating for the rights and empowerment of women and girls.
