ICUUW provides resources for Unitarian*Universalist congregations to plan a worship service honoring International Women’s Day and supporting ICUUW in its mission to empower women and girls worldwide.

We ask Unitarian*Universalist congregations to consider dedicating a Sunday offering or collection to the important work of ICUUW at any time during the year. Please consult our annual share-the-plate calendar and contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Thank you for your involvement and support!  

March 8 has been designated International Women's Day by the United Nations – and the day is recognized and celebrated in many countries around the world. The growing international women's movement, which has been strengthened by four global United Nations women's conferences, has helped make the commemoration a rallying point to build support for women's rights and full participation in societies around the world. One of the key challenges in achieving gender equality by 2030 is an alarming lack of financing with a staggering USD 360 billion annual deficit in spending on gender-equality measures.

Check out our resource packets below for readings, words for chalice lighting and extinguishing, benedictions, prayers, suggested sermon topics for an entire worship service dedicated to International Women's Day, as well as information to make a presentation about ICUUW. Thank you for your involvement and support!
