During her speech, Devanadera referred to the roles played by women in society and how they have evolved over time. She also shared the importance of women’s empowerment.

Meanwhile, CDC-GADFPS also shared the line-up of activities for the Women’s Month celebration. These include an art exhibit titled ‘Hidden Talents: Exposed’ which will feature the various artworks of CDC women employees.

In an interview with Clark in Action, a public affairs radio program of CDC, GAD FPS Chairperson Sarah Lerum shared that the state-owned corporation is very active in promoting gender mainstreaming and equal opportunity in the workplace.

“Ang pinag-uusapan talaga natin ngayon is not just about promoting women’s rights and opportunity but equal opportunity for everyone. Be it a man or a woman, or a member of the LGBTQ+ community, we should have equal opportunity, promote and be an advocate of equality and inclusive society,” she added.

With this year’s theme “WE for gender equality and inclusive society,” the celebration of National Women’s Month aims to promote women’s empowerment, social transformation, gender equality, and inclusivity among others.
