The celebration of the annual National Women’s Month in the Philippines was made possible through Proclamation No 224 of 1988, which declared the first week of March of every year as Women’s Week. March 8, 1988 and every year thereafter was declared as Women’s Rights and International Peace Day.
In later years, March came to be known as Women’s Month.
