2016 NATIONAL WOMEN'S MONTH

The City Social Welfare & Development Office join the National Womens Month this year’s theme is “Kapakanan ni Juana, Isama sa Agenda!” (Include Women in the Agenda). This year’s theme resonates the call for gender-balance in leadership and decision making positions both in public and private sector; inclusion of women’s concerns in leadership platforms and the government’s development agenda; and capacitating and preparing women and girls to reach their ambitions.

All government agencies are encouraged to use the design in producing their collaterals for distribution to stakeholders, especially the general public. The idea is for the advocacy materials to reach as many "Juanas and Juans" as possible, making our NWMC more inclusive and felt by Juanas across the country.
