MSEditorial Embracing equity We stand with 3.905 billion women, of the world’s 8.06 billion total population, as they celebrate today International Women’s Day 2023.
Themed ‘DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality’ it seeks to start a conversation on not just ensuring equal opportunities but, more essentially, equity.
The word “WE” stands for “Women and Everyone” which emphasizes the role of women themselves and everyone in the pursuit of gender equality.It also stands for “Women’s Empowerment,” which can only be achieved when agencies, mechanisms, institutions, private partners, and duty-bearers from the national to the local level provide women equal rights and opportunities, and women take these opportunities to further themselves.
The recurring theme also aligns with the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028, which aims for “deep economic and social transformation to reinvigorate job creation and accelerate poverty reduction by steering the economy back on a high-growth path.” Gender equality is the first half of the GEWE advocacy, and it is the ultimate goal when we advance the rights of women.
