President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to promote and protect women’s rights.

“The Bagong Pilipinas we are building will always advocate for women’s rights and vigorously oppose anything threatening their progress,” Marcos said in his message for International Women’s Day and National Women’s Month.

The President hailed the contributions of women throughout history, highlighting their crucial role in shaping the country’s progress.

“Many of the developments we witness today can be attributed to the innumerable contributions of women across generations who fought, struggled, and advocated for various noble causes,” he said.

Marcos stated that the government will continue to share stories of remarkable women to inspire younger generations to make their mark.

During last year’s celebration, the President called for ongoing efforts to eliminate gender biases and discrimination, especially in marginalized communities.

He urged all Filipinos to provide equal opportunities for women and to protect the progress made towards inclusivity and empowerment.

“Always remember that, by amplifying the voices of women, championing their rights, and reinforcing their fundamental freedom, we, in turn, elevate entire communities and nations, propelling ourselves towards a stronger, more equitable, and more progressive world for all,” he said.
