Every March, we celebrate the lives of the brave and hardworking women all over the world. It is the month where we acknowledge and recognize the significant contributions made by women in the society despite all the challenges that they had to face.
We are in a time where women are now seen, heard, and valued. Women are now more focused on their self-worth and their ability to make their own choices for the betterment of their lives as well as the people around them.
In celebration of Women’s Month, we have identified women who have proven that women have voices, too, and that they can create their stories and make an impact in the society.
Anne Curtis
Anne Curtis went to Tokyo for a cause! She dedicated her trip to the Filipino youth and this time was a little different for she was not only able to beat her personal record (PR) of four hours and fifty minutes, but she was also more emotional this time now that she has already become a mom.
Every kilometer was definitely worth it for Anne Curtis after she finished strong at the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) Philippines. This marathon aimed to help abused children get the support and services they need to heal and recover.
Whatever amount the cause received, Anne will double the amount so more children will receive the services they need.
