Today, the Institute of Chartered Mediators and Conciliators (ICMC) proudly joins the global community in celebrating the International Women’s Day 2025 — a day dedicated to honoring the strength, brilliance and resilience of women everywhere!
Women have always been the heart of transformation — breaking barriers, building peace, and shaping societies. In the world of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), their contributions are invaluable. From mediating complex disputes to advocating for justice and promoting dialogue, women continue to lead with wisdom, empathy, and strength.
At ICMC, we are privileged to have exceptional women among our members and leaders — women who embody the principles of peace, equity, and fairness. They inspire hope, foster collaboration, and drive a positive change in their communities and beyond. We recognize their tireless efforts in ensuring that voices are heard, conflicts are resolved, and peace is restored.
This year’s theme, Accelerate Action, serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of inclusivity, equity, and the collective strength that diverse voices bring. It calls us to not only celebrate women’s achievements but also continue to advocate for a world where every woman has the opportunity to thrive without barriers.
As we reflect on the progress made toward gender equality and parity, we also acknowledge the work that lies ahead. Therefore we urge you to continue to champion women’s rights and create spaces where their contributions are recognized and celebrated.
To every woman balancing multiple roles, overcoming challenges, and making an impact in diverse professions — we see you. We appreciate you. We stand with you.
Today and always, ICMC remains committed to supporting and empowering women in ADR and beyond. Together, let’s build a future of peace, justice, and equality for all.
Happy International Women’s Day!
