National Women’s Month 2024 theme: “Lipunang Patas sa Bagong Pilipinas; Kakayahan ng Kababaihan, patutunayan!”
The Philippines will join the rest of the world in having the National Women’s Month Celebration (NWMC) this March 2024. According to the Philippine Commission on Women or PCW, the official theme for this year’s women’s month celebration is “Lipunang Patas sa Bagong Pilipinas; Kakayahan ng Kababaihan, patutunayan!”
According to the PCW, the first part of the theme calls for a “new Philippines” where women are given equitable opportunities and not hindered by gender biases and discriminatory stereotypes. The second part of the theme meanwhile aims to “showcase and harness the full potentials of women and girls in actively engaging in and reaping the benefits of national growth and development.”
The PCW also outlined that NWMC 2024 aims to:
- Inform and engage women and everyone in pushing for the transformation of gender norms and culture towards an inclusive society;
- Highlight the collaborative efforts of government agencies and the private sector in addressing poverty and strengthening financial institutions to bridge gender gaps, advocating for social protection systems, and enhancing access to public services and sustainable infrastructure for women and girls;
- Provide platforms to share good practices and address gaps, challenges, and commitments in pursuing gender and development (GAD), further strengthening the implementation of the Magna Carta of Women toward its milestone 15th year this 2024;
- Inspire women and girls to empower themselves and take on leadership roles, opportunities, and benefits toward maximizing their full potential and enabling them to reap the fruits of gender equality;
- Promote a society that ensures inclusion, protection of fundamental freedoms, diversity, and social justice, in which every individual, each with rights and responsibilities, is capacitated and encouraged to take an active role in playing.
