Using the International Women's Day logo

Thank you for your interest in using the International Women's Day logo. Its use is encouraged for groups around the world to actively promote their IWD events, activity, and awareness raising - and on many occasions we help amplify this activity.

International Women's Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

Around the world, a significant level of activity gets underway and many groups and organizations use the IWD logo, the annual campaign theme, and IWD assets to promote awareness about gender parity. The IWD logo is used to support and unify activity that celebrates and drives women's advancement, and each year it is reassuring to see the volume of worldwide activity driving gender parity.

What the logo can and can't be used for

Here is a quick snapshot of what the International Women's Day logo can and can't be used for.

Use of the logo is subject to the Logo Terms of Use, which you can read once you register or login to your IWD account.
The logo is used by groups and organizations that align themselves with International Women's Day. The logo is used at events that in no way bring disrepute to the IWD brand (i.e. gatherings celebrating women's achievements and/or calling for greater equality via non-violent, legal means). The logo is also used for demonstrating support and involvement through non-saleable, non-commercial products and resources that promote or support IWD's positive spirit of unity and collaboration.
The logo must not be used on any product or merchandising, whether for private usage or to generate commercial gain for sale of products. The IWD logo must also not be used in association with any form of harmful, violent, or illegal activity.

We want to make sure the International Women's Day brand and logo are always used for positive causes - and in ways that benefit women. Therefore, we ask for some background information on how your organization may be looking to potentially use the logo should approval be granted. Furthermore, this information provides a useful means to hear about the significant range of impactful activity worldwide, much of which we like to celebrate and help amplify.
