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.

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.
