Senator Cynthia Villar says women take the lead in her 3,000 community-based livelihood projects nationwide which help augment family income.
Villar said she stands with the Young Women’s Christian Association of the Philippines in their advocacy for women empowerment, particularly for those in the marginalized sectors. Speaking during YMCA’s 75th anniversary, the senator said women empowerment today means more than just protecting them from violence and other forms of abuse.“Women are also vital contributors to economic growth. Empowered women augment their family’s income, put food on the table, and play significant roles in raising and educating their children,” she said.
