Women’s History Month

The National Women’s History Alliance (NWHA) has announced the 2026 Women’s History Month theme as, “Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future”. This theme highlights the critical, often-overlooked roles women play in creating lasting, positive change across environmental, economic and societal systems for a more resilient, equitable and sustainable world.

Whether developing green technologies, advancing economic justice, strengthening education systems or building civic power—women are designing blueprints for sustainable transformation. This theme affirms that shaping a sustainable future means fostering systems that support both people and the planet.
