The National Women’s Month Celebration has become a platform to spotlight women’s accomplishments and address ongoing and emerging issues related to women’s empowerment and gender equality.

 

Grounded on the objective of transforming culture toward a more equal and inclusive future, it echoes the target outcomes in the updated Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Plan for 2019-2025 towards transforming gender norms and culture.

 

In COWD, the vision extends to incorporating gender mainstreaming in the bureaucracy - men joining the cause for equality, establishing a solid framework to support and protect women, children, persons with disabilities, Indigenous Peoples, Muslims, and those with diverse Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Expression (SOGIE).

 

Last March 8, four hundred (400) female concessionaires were able to receive hygiene kits, IEC materials, and tokens which were given simultaneously in all offices (Corrales, Kauswagan and Tin-ao). This is our simple way of showing extra care and appreciation to all the women and their pivotal role in the society.

 

Happy Women’s Month, Women and Everyone!
