Seven West Media unites with UN Women Australia to celebrate IWD 2025
For the fifth year in a row, Seven West Media is honoured to join forces with UN Women Australia as the official Australian broadcast partner for International Womenâs Day, continuing its commitment to amplifying womenâs voices and driving meaningful change.
The theme of this yearâs IWD on 8 March â âMarch Forward: For ALL Women and Girlsâ â looks to the future and reflects on the past three decades.
Thirty years ago, the world committed to a bold vision for gender equality through the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. Adopted at the Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995, the landmark document outlined 12 critical areas where progress was urgently needed, from economic empowerment and leadership to media representation and climate justice. It remains the most progressive and widely endorse blueprint for womenâs and girlsâ rights worldwide.
To mark IWD, Seven West Media is staging a special staff event â âWomen Breaking Barriersâ â with pop music icon and Australian Idol judge Marcia Hines, hosted by The Morning Showâs Kylie Gillies. It is also running a âWomen and Superâ webinar for all staff, with individual follow-up sessions.
This Friday, 7NEWS presenters are hosting IWD events around the country, including Mel McLaughlin in Sydney, Melina Sarris in Melbourne, Tina Altieri in Perth and Katrina Blowers in Brisbane.
Seven West Media Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Howard, said: âWe are proud to again partner with UN Women Australia to celebrate IWD, a global day day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women â and a day that also marks a call to action for accelerating gender equality.
âGender equality is a key focus area for Seven and one we will continue working on. We have made good progress in this area in recent years but, like most companies, we can always do better. And we will.â
Seven West Media Chief People and Culture Officer, Lucinda Gemmell, said: âThe theme of this yearâs IWD â âMarch Forward: For ALL Women and Girlsâ â perfectly reflects the work we are doing.
âWe have made significant progress in achieving gender equality in our business, but we are not finished. Across Seven West Media, we have introduced a range of initiatives and programs in this area, with more to come.
âOur partnership with UN Women Australia as the official Australian broadcast partner for IWD is something we are honoured to do; more importantly, it is something that can help effect real change that benefits everyone,â she said.
Simone Clarke, Chief Executive Officer of UN Women Australia, said: âWe are grateful to Seven West Media for their support this International Womenâs Day. As we mark 30 years since the Beijing Platform for Action, this partnership helps shine a spotlight on the progress made and the work still to be done. Through this collaboration, we can inspire Australians to âMarch Forwardâ and take action for a future where women and girls are safe, equal, and empowered.â
