International Women's Day






The new millennium has witnessed a significant change and attitudinal shift in both women's and society's thoughts about women's equality and emancipation. Indeed, women's libertarian movement has gone a long way.


Annually on 8 March, multitude of events are held throughout the world to pay tribute to women, inspire them, and celebrate their achievements. While large-scale initiatives are set, a rich and diverse fabric of local activity connects women from all around the world ranging from political rallies, business conferences, government activities, theatric performances, wellness expo (if i'm not mistaken, there is one in Ayala or SM) and more.


Amid the political saga that now besets the country, women from various groups are expected to come out on this very day to show their strength and indignation. The struggle for truth, justice, equality, peace and development certainly continues.


Let us make a difference!! Let us move to actions for real results. Together, we will endeavor to make everyday International Women's Day. The challenge is for us to do our bit to ensure that the future of every woman & of every girl is bright, equal, safe and rewarding.


Mabuhi ang mga Kababaenhan!
