Women Empowerment

Helping Women Lead, Thrive, and Transform Their Communities
At YWCA Foundation for Filipino People, Inc., we believe that when women are empowered, families grow stronger and communities thrive. Our Women Empowerment programs are designed to support Filipino women in discovering their voice, developing their skills, and becoming leaders in their own lives and communities.

From urban centres to rural provinces, we offer safe, inclusive spaces where women can learn, connect, and grow—socially, economically, and emotionally.

What We Do

Our initiatives address the challenges women face and equip them with tools to rise above them. We focus on:
  • Capacity-building workshops

  • Gender equality seminars

  • Public speaking and confidence-building activities

  • Advocacy campaigns on women’s rights and safety

  • Livelihood and entrepreneurial skills training

  • Financial literacy sessions

  • Access to small grants and resources

  • Mentoring programs for women-led initiatives

  • Mental health awareness sessions

  • Peer support groups and women’s circles

  • Access to counselling and legal aid referrals (through partners)
