Princess Charlène sent a strong message for International Women’s Day: “We forget too often that women’s power doesn’t need to be made, it needs to be freed.” Equality is not a gift; it is a right that everyone must fully enjoy, everywhere. The wife of Prince Albert II ended with a wish for the future: “On this 8 March, my wish is simple: that every little girl can grow up without barriers or obstacles.”
Collective action in the Principality
Not just the Sovereign spoke out on Sunday. A number of people from Monaco chose March 8 to reaffirm their commitment. Pink Ribbon Monaco, of which she is an honorary president paid tribute to “all the extraordinary women who work to support women’s health every day by witnessing raising awareness, and supporting research. “Your voices your dedication, and your bravery make this movement possible We keep going together for awareness, prevention, research, and our future,” said Natasha Frost-Savio the organization’s president.
Monaco is making progress toward equal pay for men and women.

The Committee for the Promotion and Protection of Women’s Rights also said again that its work doesn’t end on a single day. After putting on Powher Day on March 6 at the Espace Léo Ferré, it told everyone to “celebrate, share, and support women’s rights initiatives throughout the year.” Céline Cottalorda said that day, “8 March is a date one day of the year.” But women’s rights are important all year long. The important thing is the cause we fight for and being together.
Béatrice Fresko-Rolfo, chair of the Committee on Women’s Rights, Family, and Equality on the National Council side, talked about how far the legislature has come and what elected officials want to do in 2026. This shows that institutional commitment is also a long-term goal. “Women’s rights are never fully gained. “They are built, made stronger, and protected,” she said.
