#PurpleMondays

“We Make Change Work for Women”, is the theme for the National Women’s Month Celebration which shall be used from 2017-2022. It highlights the empowerment of women as active contributors and claimholders of development. This pursuit of development is also anchored on the commitment of “Malasakit at Pagbabago” or True Compassion and Real Change.

The National Police Regional Office 1 supports the National Women’s Month Celebration by wearing purple on all Mondays of March 2021 for women’s empowerment and gender equality.

This year’s campaign is entitled “Juana Laban sa Pandemya: Kaya!” which is different from previous ones because it is set in the COVID-19 pandemic backdrop, which posed both challenges and opportunities for women. Hence, this year’s observance highlights women’s participation in battling the pandemic as well as discusses gender issues exuberated by the pandemic.
