Dressed in vibrant purple outfits, employees from various offices of the Local Government Unit of Itogon proudly come together to smile for the camera, showcasing their unwavering support for women empowerment and gender equality.
Their participation is in celebration of Purple Wednesdays, a special activity held as part of the nationwide observance of National Women’s Month. This initiative aims to raise awareness and promote a culture of equality, where both women and men have equal opportunities to thrive.
You, too, can become a part of this meaningful movement by adorning your own workplace, home, or community landmarks with purple decorations. These symbolic gestures help spread the message of solidarity and encourage others to actively participate in advancing gender equality in all aspects of life. Let’s unite in celebrating the strength, resilience, and contributions of women everywhere!
