About this event
Join us for a thought-provoking event celebrating International Women's Day.
Delve into the complex intersection of gender and Philippine labour migration, as we explore the experiences, challenges, and triumphs of Filipino women working abroad. This event aims to shed light on the unique perspectives and contributions of these women to the global workforce.
Through engaging discussions, personal stories, and expert insights, we will deepen our understanding of the social, economic, and cultural dimensions of this important issue. Hear from inspiring speakers, connect with fellow attendees, and be part of a meaningful dialogue on gender equality and migration.
Don't miss this opportunity to gain new perspectives and contribute to the ongoing conversation about women's rights and migrant workers' experiences.
