Pinay Power: National Women's Month celebration & conversation continues

Pinay Power: National Women's Month celebration & conversation continuesPinay Power: National Women's Month celebration & conversation continues

Find out how women in the Philippines are being recognized this month and what they are asking for.

Although National Women's Day was on March 8, the celebration of National Women's Month continues! Here is how the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) and other businesses are honoring women throughout the month of March and keeping the conversation of women empowerment going.

Juana says...

The PCW releases wise and inspirational words from successful Filipinas daily on its Facebook page. Here is one dose of #JuanaSays by Celia Flor, inviting everyone to see women not as victims to help or cases for charity but as equals:

Juana does...

An ad by Ariel is highlighting the contributions of working women to the country.

It starts off by showing just the hands of laborers in various industries.

Then it reveals that the hands belong to women.

The video also shares that 94% of Filipinas above 15 years old actively contribute to the country's economy. It reminds us that women should be supported to encourage them to continue working and overcoming the challenges they face everyday. These challenges include underemployment and receiving less pay than male counterparts.

Juana gets...

The National Museum and Enchanted Kingdom have on-going promotions for ladies, too. This month is the best month for women to visit the National Museum because admission is free.

The Enchanting Kababaihan offer is good until April 3 and may be extended to companions and family members.

Juana wants...

In line with the theme for 2016 of “Kapakanan ni Juana, Isama sa Agenda!” (Include Women in the Agenda), we hope that these initiatives make everyone more conscious about the need for more gender-balance in leadership positions. Better representation allows both public and private organizations to truly address concerns of the female workforce and to support and empower more women and girls to achieve their dreams.
