On this International Women’s Day, we celebrate the voices, the achievements, and efforts of women in various sectors of society. With a theme“𝙄𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙬𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣: 𝘼𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨”, the Culion Foundation is one with millions of Filipino women in their struggle to break free from the shackles of inequity emanating from a largely patriarchal system. At CFI, we invest in women empowerment and place it on our priority agenda. We strive for a gender-balanced composition of the Board. We promote an equal opportunity approach in our hiring process and inject gender-sensitive perspectives in our project implementation and activities.
