Womens month

 


The webpage for the 2023 National Women’s Month Celebration is up!

The 2023 celebration marks a juncture in the advancement of women’s rights as it launches a new recurring theme from this year to 2028: WE for gender equality and inclusive society. It sparks a renewed commitment to the advocacy and banks on the gains achieved during the 2016-2022 theme, WE Make CHANGE Work for Women, which emphasized the need for compassionate and harmonized networks towards gender equality and women’s empowerment (GEWE).

We begin this new era of the National Women’s Month Celebration with the hope and ambition that WE are all for Gender Equality, WE are all for an Inclusive Society.

Learn more about the new theme and check out the focus and activities for this year here: https://pcw.gov.ph/2023-national-womens-month-celebration/
