Bataan First District Representative Geraldine Roman, a staunch advocate for gender equality, expressed her joy at the start of Women’s Month as she witnessed a series of events honoring and respecting women.

From the Women-Led Flag-Raising Ceremony Monday morning at the House of Representatives to the All-Women Session in the afternoon, the third-termer lawmaker saw a bright possibility for equal opportunities for all.

“As Women’s Month begins, I am filled with immense joy seeing the celebrations, recognitions, and respects given to women,” Roman shared. She expressed hope that the celebration of this month would not be a once-a-year event but rather an everyday occurrence. “Women should be celebrated every day,” she emphasized.

Representative Roman’s sentiments echo the broader call for gender equality and empowerment. As Women’s Month unfolds, it serves as a reminder that the fight for women’s rights and recognition should not be confined to a single month but should be a continuous effort. She added that in a world striving for inclusivity and equality, the celebration of women should be ingrained in our daily lives, not just in grand gestures but in the everyday acknowledgment of their worth and contributions.

The Women’s Month celebration in Bataan serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration, highlighting the strides made towards gender equality while reminding us of the work that remains. It is a call to action for society to recognize and celebrate women not just in March but every day of the year.
