BFAR SAAD CALABARZON

This March, the Special Area for Agricultural Development (SAAD) Program joins the #𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 under the banner “𝐖𝐄 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲,” reaffirming that advancing equality requires collective action and shared responsibility.
Across our agricultural communities, we see this kind of commitment through the leadership of our women farmers, fishers, and rural leaders who nurture livelihoods and create meaningful change on the ground. Their voices and participation are essential in building resilient food systems and empowered communities.
As the Philippines continues to champion gender equality, the DA-SAAD Program remains steadfast in promoting gender-responsive interventions, ensuring that women in marginalized areas have equitable access to opportunities and leadership spaces.
Because when women lead in agriculture, communities thrive.
