FLAME University’s Women’s Cell Presents:
International Women’s Day 2025 – For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment
International Women’s Day is a celebration of the achievements made by incredible women throughout history, highlighting a continued global mission for gender equality. Join us at FLAME University for this year’s International Women’s Day celebrations from March 3rd to 8th. This year, we at Women’s Cell proudly embrace the theme “For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment” as proposed by UN Women. This year's theme is vital as it emphasizes the universal struggle for gender equality and the need for inclusion in every sphere of life. It underscores that every woman and girl deserves opportunities to excel in life. Central to this vision is empowering the next generation youth, particularly young women and adolescent girls—as catalysts for lasting change. FLAME University plays a crucial role here by fostering critical thinking and conversations in the student body through various events and activities every year.
To honor this spirit of International Women’s Day this year, Women's Cell has organized diverse events designed to empower, educate, and celebrate women and girls. We wish to warmly welcome everyone at FLAME University to participate in our events actively.
