In tribute to the remarkable contributions, achievements, resilience, and enduring strength of women, the District of Malay proudly celebrates the 2026 National Women’s Month with the theme “We for Gender Equality and Inclusive Society” and the inspiring sub-theme “Lead Like the Babaylans, Filipinas!” held at Boracay National High School, Balabag, Malay, Aklan.

This meaningful celebration highlights the vital role of women in shaping our communities and recognizes their unwavering commitment to leadership, service, and empowerment. Guided by the spirit of the Babaylans—the revered women leaders and healers of our ancestors—this event encourages today’s Filipinas to lead with courage, wisdom, compassion, and strength.

The activity also serves as a valuable platform to share best practices, exchange ideas, and address existing gaps and challenges in the continuous pursuit of Gender and Development (GAD). Through collaborative dialogue and engagement, participants are encouraged to strengthen commitments that promote equality, inclusivity, and respect for all.

More importantly, this celebration seeks to inspire women and girls to believe in their potential, embrace leadership opportunities, and actively participate in building communities where everyone is empowered. By promoting gender-responsive initiatives and inclusive spaces, we reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that women and girls can fully enjoy the opportunities, rights, and benefits that lead to personal growth and community progress.

Let us stand together in advancing gender equality, uplifting one another, and creating a society where every woman and girl is empowered to lead, succeed, and thrive.
