SRES 106 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution supporting the goals of International Women's Day.

This Senate resolution (SRES 106) expresses the U.S. Senate's support for International Women’s Day (March 8, 2025) and recognizes the importance of advancing women’s rights globally. It affirms that women’s empowerment is critical to achieving economic growth, sustainable peace, and security, citing statistics on gender-based violence, educational gaps, and underrepresentation in leadership. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but formally acknowledges the Senate’s commitment to addressing barriers women face, including violence, discrimination, and limited participation in decision-making. It specifically highlights challenges in conflict zones like Afghanistan and Ukraine, urging U.S. action to support women’s rights worldwide. As a non-binding resolution, it serves as a symbolic statement of support rather than a legislative change.
