The United Nations General Assembly established International Mountain Day to recognise the importance of mountains.

Every year, this Day is observed with a specific theme and theme of this year is ‘Women Move Mountains.’ Women play a key role in mountains’ environmental protection and social and economic development. They are often the primary managers of mountain resources, guardians of biodiversity, keepers of traditional knowledge, custodians of local culture, and experts in traditional medicine.
