International Women’s Day Celebration

International Women’s Day (IWD) is a global celebration dedicated to honoring the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It serves as a powerful reminder of the progress made toward gender equality while highlighting the work that still needs to be done. In the engineering field, where women are still underrepresented, IWD provides an essential platform to celebrate achievements, address barriers, inspire future generations, and build a more equitable engineering profession for all. For 2026, we expect 150+ professionals will enjoy food, a distinguished keynote speaker, raffle prizes, networking, and an introduction to SWE-HA. Together, we will honor the contributions of women in engineering and pave the way for a more inclusive future.

#GiveToGain

The theme for IWD 2026 is #GiveToGain, emphasizing the power of reciprocity and support. When people, organizations, and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase. Giving is not a subtraction, it’s intentional multiplication. When women thrive, we all rise.

Whether through donations, knowledge, resources, infrastructure, visibility, advocacy, education, training, mentoring, or time, contributing to women’s advancement helps create a more supportive and interconnected world.

What will you Give to Gain gender equality?
