A substantial number of women are extremely poor and yet they stand at the forefront of the poverty alleviation programs of the Department of Social Welfare and Development, thus, they were recognized and very much appreciated by DSWD Secretary Corazon Soliman.

“As the country celebrates Women’s Month this March, the DSWD recognizes the active participation of women-beneficiaries and volunteers in the implementation of poverty reduction projects. We are encouraged by the positive feedback and success stories that we receive on how our women-beneficiaries managed to turn their lives around, regained their dignity and self-worth and achieved economic independence,” Soliman said in a statement.
