It sparks a renewed commitment to 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 womenโs empowerment (GEWE).
The recurring theme also aligns with the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028, which aims for โdeep economic and social transformation to reinvigorate job creation and accelerate poverty reduction by steering the economy back on a high-growth path.โ The plan also highlights that growth must be inclusive, building an environment that provides equal opportunities to all Filipinos and equipping them with skills to participate fully in an innovative and globally competitive economy.
We begin this new era of the National Womenโs Month Celebration with the hope and ambition that ๐ช๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐พ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐, ๐ช๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐น๐๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐.
