Committee on Women and Gender Equality

Filipino women in the 1920s-1950s navigated a complex landscape of tradition and change. While societal expectations often confined them to domestic roles, they were also agents of progress, pushing for suffrage, education, and labor rights. They challenged colonial and patriarchal norms, becoming educators, activists, and even guerilla fighters during World War II. Their stories, etched in resilience and a relentless pursuit of equality, continue to inspire generations of Filipinas today. | Kul
