March is Women's History Month - a time dedicated to honoring the remarkable contributions of women throughout history.
The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum join in commemorating and encouraging the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history.
In February 1980, Jimmy Carter issued the first Presidential Proclamation declaring the Week of March 8th, 1980, as National Women’s History Week. |
The theme for Women's History Month 2025 is Moving Forward Together! Women Educating and Inspiring Generations.
On 8 March 2025, we celebrated International Women’s Day with the theme, For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.

The phrase women in all sectors, raise the future for a new Philippines embodies a sense of optimism and hope - symbolizing a future where women’s lives are truly uplifted. It reflects the commitment to translating gender equality efforts from policy into tangible, meaningful changes in the lives of women.
HERstory: How did it start? |
This vision seeks to ensure that all women - particularly those from underserved communities and marginalized sectors - reap the benefits of gender equality in their daily lives. By prioritizing these groups, the 2025 National Women’s Month Celebration emphasizes the need for inclusive progress, ensuring that no woman is left behind in the journey toward equal opportunities and empowerment.
This 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.

Ambitious ideals and big talk for a predominantly male dominated world and aging men led governments - too focused on a masculine perspective. According to data from the World Economic Forum, at the current rate of progress - it will take until 2158, roughly five generations from now - to reach full gender parity.
We say that's too little, too late! The world needs to support and sustain our nurturers and nourishers now - better and fully. Let's do it - onward women warriors!
