International Women’s Day, celebrated for over 100 years, will take place on March 8, 2026, with a focus on the theme ‘Give To Gain’. This theme emphasizes the power of reciprocity and highlights the importance of taking meaningful steps to create change.

Leading up to the main event, the Three Oaks Foundation will host a gathering on March 6, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. This event aims to engage the community and promote discussions around women’s rights and gender equality.

On the day of International Women’s Day, the Desautels Faculty of Music at the University of Manitoba will celebrate with a concert titled Frauenleben: Love, Labour & Lullabies. Scheduled for 2 p.m., this concert will feature music composed by women from various eras, showcasing the contributions of female composers throughout history.

Laura Loewen, a faculty member involved in the concert, remarked, “One of the great things about working at a university is the amazing colleagues that you have.” She also emphasized the importance of exploring diverse music, stating, “I think it’s a really important thing in your development as a musician to be exploring this music from as many different places as you possibly can.”

Monica Huisman, another faculty member, expressed her admiration for her students, saying, “I’m already incredibly impressed by my students.” This sentiment reflects the enthusiasm and dedication present in the music department as they prepare for the upcoming events.

International Women’s Day serves as a reminder of the progress made towards gender equality and the work that still lies ahead. Observers expect that the events planned for 2026 will not only celebrate achievements but also inspire further action in the community.

As the date approaches, details remain unconfirmed regarding additional activities or speakers that may be included in the celebrations. However, the current lineup promises to be a meaningful tribute to women’s contributions in various fields.
