UPOU National Women’s Month and International Women’s Day Celebration
March 6 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
The University of the Philippines-Open University continuously celebrates both National Women’s Month and International Women’s Day. The country proclaimed the whole month of March as the National Women’s Month (Proclamation No. 224 s. 1988) while March 8 has been proclaimed as the National Women’s Day (Proclamation No. 224 s. 1988), both through former President Corazon Aquino in March 1988.
UPOU through its Gender Focal Point System (GFPS) and the Office of Gender Concerns (OGC) has always been at the forefront of not only gender mainstreaming but also of innovative solutions to achieve progress, equality, and inclusivity within and outside of the university.
This year’s theme: UPOU working for Progress, Equality, and Inclusivity through Enhanced Community Engagement within Open and Distance e-learning; highlights the importance of investing in women’s empowerment, gender equality, and inclusivity that will hope to expedite and sustain progress in different aspects of society.
In line with this, an opening program will be conducted to kick off this year’s Women’s Month 2024 on March 6, 2024, from 4:00 to 5:30 pm at CCDL and via Zoom, YouTube, Facebook, and UPOU networks. Our resource speaker is Dr. Joane V. Serrano, the Dean of the Faculty of Management and Development Studies (FMDS). Everyone is welcome to attend this program. There’s a lot to look out for–forum, launching of activities, souvenirs, and free food!
