Lifting the women who lift us: Accelerating action for Filipino women in all sectors

This International Women’s Day 2025, let us commit to accelerating action for gender equality—not just in words, but in concrete policies, programs, and actions. Together, we can ensure that every Filipino woman can live, work, and lead with dignity.

Because a better Philippines is only possible when we lift the women who build it.

Committed to working with and among legislative bodies from the national down to the local level, Philippine Legislators' Committee on Population and Development primarily works within the halls of Congress, devoted to developing policy champions and generating viable, responsive, and people-centered public policies on population and human development.

Statement of the Alliance of Local Legislators for Human Development (ALL4HD) in Support of the Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy Bill or Senate Bill 1979

January 17, 2025

Local governments are at the forefront of the provision of social services. Next to the family, local governments have the impetus and are best positioned to protect children and ensure their well-being. Local governments can contribute to addressing adolescent pregnancy by enacting and implementing comprehensive adolescent reproductive health or adolescent pregnancy prevention ordinances that institutionalize sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information and services; age- and development-appropriate and culturally sensitive comprehensive sexuality education; and social protection for adolescent parents to prevent repeat unintended pregnancies, protect them from gender-based violence, and help young parents to continue their education and have access to meaningful employment.
