International Women's Day is an annual celebration on March 8th. This year's theme is “For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment", which emphasizes the imperative for action to foster equal rights, power, and opportunities for all, paving the way for a feminist future that leaves no one behind. At the core of this vision is the empowerment of the next generation—specifically, youth, with a focus on young women and adolescent girls—who are poised to serve as catalysts for sustainable change. To raise awareness for this important topic, Elsevier presents a curated list of publicly available journal articles and book chapters to help advance #SDG3, #SDG5 and #SDG10 research.
