WOMEN'S EMPOWEREMENT

International Women's Day is a worldwide event that honors women's social, economic, cultural, and political achievements. The day also serves as a call to action for achieving gender parity sooner rather than later. Globally, there is a lot of activity as people join together to celebrate women's accomplishments or to march for women's equality. It is a day when women are honored for their accomplishments regardless of national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic, or political boundaries. International Women's Day has taken on a new global significance for women in both rich and poor countries since those early years. The anniversary has become a rallying point to develop support for women's rights and involvement in political and economic arenas, thanks to the increasing international women's movement, which has been bolstered by four global United Nations women's conferences.

Since then, the Philippines' Women's Month Celebration has served as a platform to honor women's achievements while also addressing existing and developing women's empowerment and gender equality issues, concerns, challenges, and obligations. This year's National Women's Month celebration is different from prior years because the COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing. The celebration was held online due to the government's prohibitions on face-to-face encounters and public gatherings, especially as the number of positive patients or cases continues to climb. The commemoration this year emphasizes on women's contributions to the pandemic's fight, as well as gender concerns aggravated by it.

Strength is a subjective concept. It could be the courage to accept other people's shortcomings, face your anxieties, or just remove yourself from the things or people who limit your ability to achieve what you want and believe is right. As a result, it is in our nature to be strong. Both men and women are powerful in their own way. We can see how the Earth and human culture have changed over the centuries. Living in current times does not imply that we do not value what our forefathers and elders have gone through in their lives. Gender roles were once highly contentious, thus women's empowerment is an essential and fascinating topic that needs to be explored and safeguarded by successive generations. Gender equality is now being addressed, which is a good thing. Women have free choice and are allowed to participate in a variety of activities that will help them grow personally and professionally. Women are permitted to participate in a variety of societal activities, allowing them to play a vital role in the advancement of human life. Women are powerful in their own way. The term "women" encompasses more than just motherhood and sisterhood. Women make up a large portion of the Filipino workforce. Furthermore, the Philippine constitution permits women to run for public office and serve the Filipino people. Even in the midst of a pandemic, health-care personnel are predominantly female. Women, like men, are sacrificing their time, effort, service, spirituality, and mental health in order to assist the country return to normalcy.

For decades, women have been struggling for equality and empowerment. Women's empowerment is defined as boosting their self-worth, ability to accomplish, ability to make their own decisions, and ability to live a life where they can do everything they want. Although it appears that we are on the verge of achieving full equality, we still have a long way to go. Various people have different perspectives on "women as empowered." A strong woman can be a powerful politician, a loving mother, a successful businesswoman, or even a little girl with a strong feeling of self-worth. This pandemic has showed me how essential women are in society, which is reason enough to empower them. We spent most of our time on the internet due to the epidemic, which allowed us to highlight gender equality and women's empowerment. As a result, my perception of what it means to be a powerful woman has shifted. My mother, instructors, friends, and role models are all "empowered" women because they are successful, self-assured, aware, autonomous, and supportive of other women. Seeing women be empowered and recognized for their accomplishments gives me hope for my gender and inspires me to take control of my life as a young girl.

Women's empowerment is a key step toward gender equality in general. By giving them the ability to feel secure and enhance their talents, we are directly contributing to the future of our society. Although Ladies' Month has passed, we should not forget to recognize the women in our life. Let us aspire to be well-informed and considerate citizens. We should not be ignorant of someone's rights and abilities because of their gender. Women's empowerment should be promoted, or we could just acknowledge women as valuable parts of our community. It's past time for everyone to learn more about the different gender issues that occurred or were more prominent during the health crisis. Gender equality and women's empowerment should be fostered. Let us join forces to defend women's rights all throughout the world. Let's focus on detecting and addressing power disparities, as well as allowing women more control over their lives. Don't undervalue what women can do. Women have the power to change the world. To all woman and all of the people around the world you are way stronger and beautiful as you think. You have gone through all the turbulence at time s you bring smile to everyone face especially to us. You are a gift and blessings to God don’t be a woman but be a empowered woman who promotes unity, respect and lovable one. Lastly, to all people who experienced inequality and discrimination you are loved and you are beautiful, love yourself because you are deserved to be loved.
