If we have equal work, we should have equal rights too

 

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 commitments. The celebration focuses on concrete activities that are aligned with national and international instruments and treaties such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, the Beijing Platform for Action, the Philippine Plan for Gender-Responsive Development (1995-2025), the Framework Plan for Women, and the Sustainable Development Goals.

March is now recognized as a month to honor all that being a woman entails. To recognize equality and to honor all the strong, intelligent, self-assured, creative, talented, and attractive women in the globe. There is strength in sexuality, femininity, and various perspectives and outward manifestations. We hear from women from all backgrounds, professions, and stages of life to better understand why this month is so important to them.

 

This is why we celebrate International Women's Month - to celebrate how far we have come and acknowledge how far we still need to go towards gender equality. This month, we spotlight the accomplishments of women. This, in my opinion, significantly contributes to empowering one another—especially the younger generation—and helping males understand their position in society.
