Background
Gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls remain essential pillars for achieving sustainable development and advancing the United Nations Agenda 2030. Women continue to play a critical role in driving social transformation, community resilience, innovation, and inclusive development across sectors and communities.
In celebration of International Women’s Day 2026, CIFAL Philippines launched the digital campaign “Girls Got Goals: Celebrating the Filipina in SDGs” to recognize and amplify the contributions of Filipino women actively advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 5 on Gender Equality. The campaign aimed to promote awareness, inspire civic engagement, and highlight the leadership and achievements of women contributing to sustainable development initiatives.
Content and Structure
The campaign featured a series of one-minute video interviews highlighting the stories, achievements, and aspirations of Filipino women engaged in SDG-related initiatives. Content was released weekly throughout the month of March across UP-CIFAL Philippines’ digital and social media platforms.
The campaign encouraged public participation and engagement through social media outreach and awareness activities linked to International Women’s Day 2026.
