The Philippine Embassy in Seoul joins the celebration of the 2025 National Women’s Month and International Women’s Day in March

This year’s National Women’s Month Celebration (NWMC) with the sub-theme, “Babae sa Lahat ng Sektor, Aangat ang Bukas sa Bagong Pilipinas” reinforces the core objective of RA 9710, or the Magna Carta of Women—to empower women, promote gender equality, and ensure equitable access to resources and opportunities. The 2025 NWMC further emphasizes the need for inclusive progress, ensuring that no woman is left behind in the journey toward equal opportunities and empowerment. The celebration further aims to:

• Increase awareness and advocacy for gender equality, resulting in greater recognition of women’s equal rights, power, and opportunities across all sectors;
• Enhance the inclusion of marginalized and vulnerable sectors of women, including indigenous women, rural women, and women with disabilities, through targeted initiatives that ensure their participation and access to programs and resources promoting inclusive development;
• Strengthen multi-sectoral collaboration with government agencies, LGUs, NGOs, CSOs, and other stakeholders, leading to improved policies, access to services, and sustainable opportunities for women; and
• Improve policies and gender-responsive governance, ensuring the sustainability of gender equality efforts beyond 2025.
