March: Women's History Month

 

https://ovcre.uplb.edu.ph/press/features/item/442-how-women-s-month-came-to-be

        Women have suffered oppression and discrimination throughout our history. But they didn’t remain silent, they fought back. They showed the world that they could do things men can do and that they have the right too. This activism led to what they are now.

            Women make up one of the few minorities that are numerical majorities. They typically outnumber men when it comes to demographics in most communities. Despite that, the oppression and marginalization of women has taken place in many societies for some time now. This March marks the best time to bring that and related issues to the forefront.

            March is Women’s History Month in a lot of countries including the US. In the Philippines, it is often referred to by the government as National Women’s Month and represents the time of year when women’s advancement becomes most important in the public consciousness.

            The Philippines actually took its cues for the celebration of women’s rights and representation from the United Nations. The UN preceded the country by declaring March 8 as the International Women’s Day in its General Assembly in 1977. The Philippines did not follow suit until 11 years later, though. Aptly enough, it was during the tenure of its first female president.
