The resolution recognizes March 2025 as "Women's History Month" in the State of Rhode Island, marking the 38th annual celebration of this important observance. It highlights the historical significance of women's contributions to society, beginning with the first unofficial "National Women's History Week" celebrated in 1978 and the subsequent establishment of Women's History Month in 1987. The resolution acknowledges the vital roles women have played across various sectors, including economic, cultural, and social spheres, and their leadership in significant social movements throughout history.
The theme for Women's History Month 2025 is "Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations," chosen by the National Women's History Alliance to honor women who have dedicated their lives to leadership, education, and mentorship. This theme aims to celebrate the influence of women in shaping society and to inspire future generations. The resolution calls for the Secretary of State to transmit certified copies to key officials, including the President of the United States and the Governor of Rhode Island, to formally recognize and promote the observance of Women's History Month.
