This International Women's Month 2022 we honour and celebrate the voice of womankind by speaking to these inspirational ladies
March has become known as a time to celebrate all that it means to be a woman. To acknowledge equality, and to celebrate the many strong, smart, confident, innovative, talented and beautiful women out there in the world. There is power in femininity, in sexuality, and in all types of appearances and perspectives. We hear from women from different backgrounds, industries, and life experiences to understand why this month means a great deal to them.

The Philippines is such a good place to be for women in terms of having access to education and holding leadership roles. However, this is not true for women in other parts of the world. In some countries, women aren’t allowed to open bank accounts or are forced to marry against their will.
This is why we celebrate International Women’s Month - to celebrate how far we have come and understand how far we still need to go towards gender equality. This month, we highlight women and the things we have achieved. I feel that this plays a big role in empowering each other (especially the youth) and making the men recognize the contribution we have in society.
