In a statement issued by the forum, DOPF said this year\u2019s celebration with the theme: “Give to Gain: Empowering Women through Digital Storytelling” will align with the global theme \u201cGive To Gain\u201d, with the message \u201cWhen we give, we gain.\u201d
\nAccording to the forum, the campaign promotes a culture of generosity, collaboration, and intentional support for the advancement of women and girls. It encourages individuals, organisations, and communities to contribute through donations, mentorship, knowledge-sharing, advocacy, visibility, and capacity building.
\nDOPF noted that the Give To Gain initiative highlights the importance of giving from the heart, stressing that such acts create positive ripple effects that strengthen families, communities, and society at large.
\nThe forum explained that the 2026 International Women\u2019s Day celebration will focus on key priorities including empowering women, supporting women-focused nonprofit organisations, amplifying the visibility of initiatives that advance women\u2019s rights and empowerment, challenging stereotypes, discrimination, and gender bias.
\nDOPF further observed that International Women\u2019s Day is increasingly becoming one of the world\u2019s biggest giving platforms, providing opportunities to support organisations working to improve the lives of women and girls.
\nAs part of the celebration, the forum will host a \u201cGive To Gain\u201d Impact Conference, recognise outstanding women and nonprofit organisations, and carry out media advocacy campaigns across Delta-based digital platforms. The programme will also feature public engagement initiatives aimed at encouraging greater support for women-focused causes and collaboration with grassroots organisations and girl-child advocacy groups.
\nThe forum emphasized that the involvement of government institutions, community leaders, civil society organisations, and development partners will be vital in amplifying the impact of the campaign.
\nAccording to DOPF, broader participation will inspire more Deltans to embrace a culture of giving and support the advancement of women and girls.
\n\u201cWhen women rise, society rises,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n
