NAIROBI, 08 March 2024 – The Philippine Embassy in Nairobi joins the world in celebrating International Women's Day (IWD 2024).

For this year, the UN has adopted the theme "Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress," emphasizing the vital significance of investing in women's education, health, and economic opportunities as key drivers for sustainable development.

In the Philippines, the IWD is observed as part of the National Women's Month Celebration (NWMC) under the sub-theme “Lipunang Patas sa Bagong Pilipinas: Kakayahan ng Kababaihan, Patutunayan!”, which calls for a Bagong Pilipinas where women are given equitable opportunities and not hindered by gender biases and discriminatory stereotypes.
