Police and Crime Commissioner Marks International Women’s Day 2026
Police and Crime Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn marks International Women’s Day 2026 today, by recognising and celebrating the achievements and contributions of women in the Dyfed-Powys area and beyond.
International Women’s Day is a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, while also highlighting the continued importance of advancing gender equality. This year’s theme, ‘Give to Gain’, encourages a spirit of generosity, collaboration and support to help create greater opportunities for women.
Women play an invaluable role in shaping families, communities, workplaces and public life, demonstrating leadership, resilience and dedication in every sector of society.
Across the Dyfed-Powys area, women also make a significant contribution through their work in policing, community safety, public services and voluntary organisations, helping to support victims, strengthen services and keep communities safe.
Police and Crime Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn said:
“International Women’s Day is an important opportunity to celebrate the achievements and contributions of women everywhere.
Women play a vital role in every part of society, from supporting families and communities to leading organisations and shaping the future for the next generation.
This year’s theme reminds us that progress toward equality is strengthened when we support and uplift one another. By working together, sharing opportunities and championing one another success, we can help create a more equal future for everyone.
I would also like to recognise and thank the many women across the Dyfed-Powys area, including those working within policing, my office and our partner organisations, for the important contributions they make every day.”
The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner continue to support equality, representation and opportunity across policing and wider criminal justice system.
