International Women’s Day (IWD) takes place on March 8. It is a critical day of action, reflection, and celebration. This year, Unifor is proud to champion the UN theme for IWD 2026: Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls.

We are proud to share new posters to celebrate IWD 2026. Hang these posters with pride in your workplace, on bulletin boards and in break rooms, in your union hall and meeting spaces. Share the images linked below on your social media pages.

Don’t forget to let us know if your Local or Women’s Committee is planning an event or a workplace action on International Women’s Day. Send information and event photos to @email.
