The Florida House of Representatives has introduced House Resolution HR 8043, which recognizes March 8, 2025, as "International Women's Day" in the state of Florida. This resolution highlights the significance of International Women's Day as an annual celebration of women's achievements across various domains, including cultural, educational, economic, political, and social spheres. It acknowledges the historical context of the day, tracing its origins back to the first national Women's Day observed in the United States in 1909 and the United Nations' formal recognition of the day in 1975. The resolution also addresses ongoing issues faced by women globally, such as child marriage, modern slavery, and violence against women.

In addition to celebrating women's accomplishments, the resolution notes the current representation of women in the Florida Legislature, where approximately 42 percent of its members are women. It also recognizes notable contributions of Florida women, including recent inductees to the Florida Women's Hall of Fame. The theme for International Women's Day 2025 is "Accelerate Action," emphasizing the need for continued progress towards gender equality. The resolution calls for the state to honor and celebrate the achievements of women on this important day.
