The FIM join United Nations Women’s global campaign #ForAllWomenAndGirls calling for action that can unlock equal rights, power and opportunities for all where no one is left behind. Central to this vision is empowering the next generation—youth, particularly young women and adolescent girls—as catalysts for lasting change.
The FIM is committed to making motorcycling an open, inclusive and benevolent environment for all to develop sports and activities for women.
The year 2025 is a pivotal moment in the global pursuit of gender equality and women’s empowerment, as it marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.
International Women’s Dayis a rallying cry to take action in three key areas:
- Advance women’s and girls’ rights:Fight relentlessly for women’s and girls’ full range of human rights, challenging all forms of violence, discrimination, and exploitation.
- Promote gender equality:Address systemic barriers, dismantle patriarchy, transform entrenched inequities, and elevate the voices of marginalised women and girls, including young people, to ensure inclusivity and empowerment.
-
Foster empowerment: Redefine power structures by ensuring inclusive access to education, employment, leadership, and decision-making spaces. Prioritise opportunities for young women and girls to lead and innovate
Janika Judeika, Director of FIM Women Commission:
“On this International Women’s Day, we honour the incredible strength, resilience, and accomplishments of women and girls around the world. In motorcycling, as in all fields, true progress comes when diversity is celebrated, and barriers are dismantled. As we reflect on the thirtieth anniversary of the Beijing Declaration, we reaffirm our promise to champion gender equality, foster leadership, and create pathways for young women to thrive – both on and off the track. Empowerment isn’t just an ambition; it’s a shared duty. Together, let’s accelerate towards a world where every woman has the freedom and support to chart her own course and success.”
Jorge Viegas, FIM President:
“This important initiative supports and reinforces the FIM’s ongoing and real commitment to making motorcycling in all its various forms, open and inclusive for all. Our FIM Women’s Commissions continues to work hard in this regard, and this year is being part of International Women’s Day by adding its own voice to the #ForAllWomenAndGirls digital campaign with an empowering video that showcases what we – FIM Family – strive for daily to make motorcycling a better place for all women and girls.”
Together, we can be the generation to close the gap to achieve gender equality.
