The 2021 National Women’s Month Celebration serves as a tribute, a platform, and a call to action that highlights the extraordinary roles of ordinary Juanas in the society as trailblazers and harbingers of change. This celebration is also a venue to discuss and address the issues that women continue to face so empowerment can be fully achieved. The campaign is also a call for concrete, sustainable, and inclusive actions towards gender equality. In 2017, the PCW Board Members and Inter-Agency Technical Working Group identified the NWMC theme “We Make Change Work for Women”, which shall be used from 2017-2022. It highlights the empowerment of women as active contributors to and claimholders of development.
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
commitment.
Empowering
women enables them to confidently and meaningfully engage with appropriate
institutions to ensure that they contribute to and benefit from development and
changes. Thus, women’s empowerment will make the change that we are espousing
or any development effort responsive to women’s concerns. Let us all continue
to take the necessary steps to narrow the growing gender gaps that create the
disparities that hinders all of us from enjoying a just and prosperous society.
