The NNC-NCR Achieve Team joins the Philippine Commission on Women in commemorating the 2022 National Women's Month Celebration with the theme "We make CHANGE Work for Women". This year's sub-theme focuses on "Agenda ng Kababaihan, Tungo sa Kaunlaran".

Hence, in this observance, the PCW calls on government agencies and stakeholders to celebrate the gains and be proactive in preventing backsliding from what we have achieved in gender equality and women’s empowerment (GEWE). It also serves as an opportune time to give Juanas the power to lay down the blueprint for future leaders regarding essential gender issues that demand immediate attention and solution.

The NNC-NCR pledges to continue empowering women by intensifying dissemination of nutrition information and advocating for gender-responsive programs and services to ensure that no Juana will feel alone in achieving proper nutrition.

The Achieve team also commits to promote and support the advocacies and objectives of the Women’s Month celebration. The team also had advocacy t-shirts made to be worn every Tuesday of March to signify support for women’s empowerment and gender equality.

The team also participated in the NNC’s Women’s Month Webinar held on March 8th which also coincided with the celebration of National Women’s Day. The Republic Act No. 6949 of 1990, declared the 8th of March to be National Women’s Day to give recognition to the contributions of Filipino women in our society.

The Achieve Team supports the PCW in promoting gender equality and women's empowerment in leadership, government, and public life. Let us work together to guarantee that Juanas' right to health and nutrition is upheld.
