The Philippine Conference on Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) kicked off on October 28 at the PICC in Pasay City, highlighting the role of women in community-driven peacebuilding.
The three-day event, led by the Department of Budget and Management and co-organized by OPAPRU and the Philippine Commission on Women, aims to amplify women’s voices and strengthen their capacity to engage in security and governance.
