PBBM honors women’s contributions to society

MANILA – President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Friday acknowledged the invaluable role that

women play in society to drive progress.

In his message for International Women's Day, the President also called for continuous efforts to eliminate gender biases and discrimination, particularly in marginalized communities, and urged all Filipinos to ensure equal opportunities for women and to safeguard the gains made towards inclusivity and empowerment.

“In an age marked by rapid growth and transformation, it is imperative for the global community to honor the incalculable worth of women’s contributions across all facets of society and sustain the gains that have emerged from their countless struggles and sacrifices,” he said.

“Yet, within our relentless pursuit of progress, we must confront the inequalities and disparities that still persist. By ending gender-based violence, discrimination, and biases that cast shadows over the realization of women’s dreams, we actively engage in a mission that nurtures equity, inclusion, and empowerment,” the President added.

Marcos urged the public to help in achieving a more inclusive society.

“Through our collective efforts, have faith that we will bring about a kind of change that stands the test of time, resonates across borders, and reverberates in the core of our societies,” he said.

“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,” Marcos added.

The International Women’s Day, celebrated on March 8, is a global celebration commemorating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. (PNA)
