The Center for Women’s Resources (CWR) in partnership with the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office, (MSWDO) of General Nakar discussed the history of International Working Women’s Day and women’s situation last March 28, 2023. #IWWD2023 #DefendFilipinoWomen
The Center for Women’s Resources joins the 10th Asia Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development with the theme “Accelerating the recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at all levels in Asia and the Pacific”.
Through the Asia Pacific Regional CSO Engagement Mechanism (APRCEM) members of civil society bring their joint positions and strategize interventions, tackling systemic barriers in achieving genuine sustainable development. Decades-long implementation of neoliberal policies and market-driven solutions failed to deliver its promise of progress and development. They especially highlight how three years on, the pandemic continues to expose and exacerbate the already existing structural inequalities — in wealth, power, and resources, between countries and within countries, between rich and the poor, and between men and women.

Statement on International Working Women’s Day 2023
The Center for Women’s Resources joins all women worldwide in commemorating International Working Women’s Day this March 8.
Now, more than ever, women need to unite to fight for living wages, jobs, and rights amid the burgeoning economic crisis and repression brought by the continuous implementation of neoliberal policies that put capitalist profit over women’s human rights.
In the Philippines, women continue to suffer joblessness and lack of decent work and livelihood while Marcos Jr. and his cronies persistently and absurdly push to change the constitution. State repression coupled with systematic misinformation and disinformation prevails while women experience various forms of abuse and lack of access to basic social services.
