The National Women’s Month is a celebration we acknowledge in honor of all the girls and women. In the Philippines, the Women’s Month Celebration has since served as a venue to highlight women’s achievements and discuss continuing and emerging women’s empowerment and gender equality issues and concerns, challenges, and commitments. The celebration focuses on concrete activities that are aligned with national and international instruments and treaties such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, the Beijing Platform for Action, the Philippine Plan for Gender-Responsive Development (1995-2025), the Framework Plan for Women, and the Sustainable Development Goals. 


The National Women’s Month is a way for our voices to be heard. All the discrimination, gender inequality, and injustices women have encountered for the past years. In this month, we celebrate and acknowledge the equality, and to celebrate the many strong, brave, confident, talented, and beautiful women out there in the world. This month highlight women and the things we have achieved. This month empower all the women and show our contribution we have made in the society.


In this celebration, we give our appreciation for all the women in the world. Everyday we should value the rights and liberty of all the women in our life. Show them respect and equality. “Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn’t be that women are the exception.” – Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
