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.
