March is a time to celebrate women, and what better way to do so than through chess? After a strong and inspiring first global Chess Women’s Day Celebration last year, the FIDE Commission for Women’s Chess once again invites federations, clubs, and organizers around the world to take part in this shared initiative throughout March, the Chess Women’s Day Celebration: Visible, Connected, Worldwide.
This year’s theme, “Visible, Connected, Worldwide” reflects what we aim to achieve together: making chess events celebrating women and girls more visible, strengthening connections between local communities and organisers across continents, and highlighting the many fantastic projects happen worldwide. Every event counts, and by making these efforts visible and connected, we strengthen their impact and remind each other that we are part of something truly global.
Are you planning a chess event in March to celebrate women and girls? It can be a tournament, a mixed or women-focused event, a simultaneous exhibition, a lecture, a workshop, or any special gathering – we want to hear about it!
By joining this global celebration, your event becomes part of a worldwide network of activities, all united by a common goal: to bring people together through chess and to make women and girls more visible within our chess communities. The strength of this initiative lies in its diversity – many events, many voices, one shared moment.
Last year showed how powerful this collective effort can be. This year, we hope to build on that energy and create even more impact – together.
How to get involved:
- Plan a chess event celebrating women and girls
- Let us know about it by reaching out to us and tagging our social media
- Join a global celebration promoting women in chess
Contact us to be part of the Chess Women’s Day Celebration. Together, we can increase visibility, strengthen connections, and inspire more women and girls to take part in chess around the world.
