President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. urged sustained policy reforms and cultural transformation to achieve genuine gender equality worldwide. Speaking at the 70th session of the Commission on the Status of Women at the United Nations headquarters in New York City, he stressed the need for stronger laws that protect women and ensure equal opportunities. Marcos said true equality requires not only policy changes but also shifts in societal attitudes that limit women’s roles. He also called for global unity in confronting violence against women, noting that such violence weakens communities and undermines justice. The Philippines reaffirmed its commitment to working with other nations to empower women, emphasizing that when women lead and succeed, societies and nations progress.
