March Forward: International Women’s Day 2025

Published on Jun 30. 2025

National Women in Transport and Roads Australia are committed to building a transport sector that attracts, engages and retains women as part of a diverse and inclusive future workforce. The 2025 International Women’s Day theme, March Forward, called on us to turn commitment into action — reminding us that true progress toward gender equality requires bold steps, not just reflection.

In the lead-up to the day, a series of events invited participants to learn from the experiences of women leaders in transport—exploring how their stories can help shape a more inclusive industry. From the “loo coup” to the fight for equal pay, this report highlights the programs that shifted the sector, the men who championed change, and the trailblazing women who broke barriers and opened doors for others.

The report also shares insights into how workplaces are evolving and the actions we can all take to maintain momentum — ensuring progress toward a fairer, more equitable transport sector continues.
