The City Government of Dapitan has officially commenced its participation in the nationwide observance of National Womenโs Month, aligning with the multi-year theme, "WE for Gender Equality and Inclusive Society."
The announcement was made during the Monday flag-raising ceremony at the city government grounds by the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), led by Ms. Marilyn S. Sy.
This yearโs celebration emphasizes the collective responsibility of achieving gender equality, with "WE" representing both Women and Everyone. Drawing inspiration from the pre-colonial Babaylans, the campaign highlights women's leadership characterized by wisdom, empathy, and community guidance.
The celebration aims to amplify womenโs leadership across all sectors, foster inclusivity by ensuring marginalized women have full access to opportunities and actively engage all citizens in dismantling gender-based discrimination.
The kick-off ceremony was marked by the oath-taking of 50 newly elected KALIPI Women Presidents, followed by the KALIPI Federation Officers, with the rites administered by Mayor Evelyn "Belen" T. Uy and Vice Mayor Gabriel M. Cad.
