Empowering Filipinas with Rise Up, Pinay Movement

The month is not yet over as we further strengthen the value of empowering Filipinas through Rise Up, Pinay!

Anyone has the ability to empower someone through their initiative. It is likely to happen with the motivation that one can feel through words and action. This March, let us strengthen the idea of celebrating women through Rise Up, Pinay — a collective movement that aims to empower Filipinas in different facets of life.

Celebrating women

The significance of gender and identity in one’s life greatly stresses the roles we partake in. Societal views over issues and the responsibilities associated with how we individually function were affected by such factors.

The female gender is regarded as the second sex throughout the long history of oppression. Men, considered as the superior sex means leaving the opposite as the ‘other’. Often undervalued and misrepresented, the movement for equal gender opportunity was created to call upon the dire need of abolishing the gender-based phenomena.

For over a century, different observations of women’s day were reputed. In 1909, the Socialist Party of America held a National Women's Day in New York City. Meanwhile, in 1990, the celebration of International Women’s Day was signed by then-President Corazon Aquino as a special working holiday in the Philippines. This aims to encourage government and private offices to participate in the activities related to the cause.

The fight for equality would never end. The changing times may have shifted the societal presentation and perception of women but that does not mean we are near equal.

The prevalence of misrepresentation and underrepresentation of women in media, societal views, and cultural practices strongly upholds the fact that women are inferior in the eyes of many. This is the reason why HER story must be heard.

Rise Up, Pinay through its collaborators and founder aims to let women, especially Filipinas change and stop the stigma that consequently affects our individuality and expression. Through words — writing to art, this is the moment that will make every Filipina shine.

Why Rise Up?

Advocacy starts with initiative. Calling out to people with the same agenda, we are ready to set the voice that will make Filipinas feel the power within them.

Through Rise Up, Pinay, women and individuals of varied SOGIESC are called to participate. Aside from empowering Filipinas, we are advocating for a better tomorrow that defies the limits expected and set by factors gone for too long.

To rise up means to work with the goal of prospering. This is the lifelong mission of every Wonder Woman in Rise Up, Pinay.

Now, take the action and let the world see the ability of every Filipina.
