Hosted and founded by Girls Who Print, the world’s largest network of women in print and graphic communications, this year’s initiative aligns with the United Nations' 2025 International Women’s Day theme; ‘For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment’.
Now in its seventh year, Girls Who Print said Print HERstory Month “honours the fierce, fabulous females who shape the printing industry by sharing their journeys, challenges, and triumphs to inspire future generations”.
Through storytelling and advocacy, the month-long campaign’s aim is to foster awareness of women’s contributions to the industry and highlight the importance of equity, parity, and inclusion for all.
As part of the celebration, Girls Who Print will host an International Women’s Day Conference on 7 March, from 8am to 3pm ET (1pm to 8pm GMT).
The free virtual event will bring together industry leaders, advocates, and community members to discuss women in the workplace, strategies for forging successful careers in print, securing supportive male allies, and best ways to empower the next generation. It will provide a global platform for networking, thought leadership, and collaboration.
Girls Who Print has invited women in print worldwide to answer the Q&A posted on its site, share their stories, and reshare the posts of participants using the hashtag #PrintHERstoryMonth across social channels.
“As we celebrate Print HERstory Month, we recognise the progress women have made in print while acknowledging the work still to be done,” said Deborah Corn, executive director of Girls Who Print.
“This year’s theme resonates deeply with our mission to empower women worldwide by cultivating a vibrant and supportive global community that drives innovation, fosters mentorship and collaboration, fuels career growth, and helps secure the future of print.”
Further information and registration for the International Women’s Day Conference is available on the Girls Who Print site.
For the last two years, this event has had over 100 participants.
Founded in 2009 as a LinkedIn group, Girls Who Print revealed its formal evolution into a global nonprofit organisation last month.
