PCG NEW YORK KICKS OFF NATIONAL WOMEN’S MONTH CELEBRATION

In support of the strides that women continue to make to achieve gender equality and to recognize the accomplishments of women throughout history, personnel of the Philippine Consulate General in New York don the color purple on Monday, 01 March 2022, the start of National Women’s Month. Purple has been historically associated with women empowerment. The Philippine Consulate General in New York has a lot in store this month to honor women such as an essay writing contest on how Filipino-American women are agents of change, and the Philippine Consulate’s annual flagship program, An Evening with Distinguished Filipino Women.
