Queen Mary of Denmark took to social media to celebrate
International Women’s Day 2025.
Queen Mary shared the impact that women have made on her life and
what we can do going forward, saying ”On this International
Women’s Day, I think of the many women who have made a difference
in my life and in women’s lives in general. In a time of
change and challenge, it makes extra sense to remember the
victories that have been achieved and hold on to the dreams that
are still waiting to be realized. And perhaps most
importantly, remind ourselves and each other that we can all be the
woman (or man) who supports other women.”
The Danish queen has focused on supporting women in many different ways. As Crown Princess of Denmark, she became an UNFPA Patron (United Nations Population Fund); in her role she has advocated for empowering girls and women, as well as formalising their rights.
In 2016, the then-Crown Princess spoke at a Copenhagen conference on women’s rights. In a conference speech, Mary argued that achieving gender equality needs to be a priority for all, and that all levels of government and organisation need to commit to eliminating the gender gap.
