How Moms Can End Women’s Month 2025 With A Bang

As Women’s Month celebrations are coming to a close, here are some ways moms can make Women’s Month 2025 memorable

With so many activities happening to honor women on Women’s Month, it can be quite overwhelming. We want to go here and there to support, but the to-do list of a mommy doesn’t seem to give us much leeway to do so. Luckily, there are still some ways we can show our support. It won’t be as grand as a year-ender party, but it’ll be a bang for those involved! Here are some ways we can commemorate Women’s Month 2025:

Wear your female archetype style with pride

Even though we are moms, we are still, first and foremost, women. As the latter, we spent years carefully crafting and curating a fashion style that best fits us. We’re not talking about just buying trendy clothes; we talk about pieces we fell in love with so hard but hesitated to wear them because they look too “baduy.” It’s why our self-esteem sometimes sinks: we don’t just base it off someone else’s idea of what looks pretty, we also are our harshest critics.

So, if we’re actually a graphic tee kind of woman, go for it! Especially in Philippine weather, it doesn’t make sense to wear all those fancy fabrics. Besides, it’ll be just as annoying to clean them after! Uniqlo recently just came out with a line, available only for the whole of March, featuring Filipina illustrator Alyssa Babasa’s art for the seven female archetypes.

Support small women-owned businesses

Nowadays, more businesses have SHE-EOs, especially with technology streamlining marketing, operating, and logistics processes. But these businesses will only thrive if they get their names out there, and that’s where we, other moms and women, come in. It’s up to us to help their businesses grow!

It may be hard to break away from some of our usual haunts, but where’s the spirit of adventure in that? Try their food, buy their stickers and artwork, and share and interact with their posts (if we really don’t have the money or the time). No matter how small, a little noise can go a long way for these businesses. Because a lot of times, behind these small businesses, are women who were and are just like us — moms just trying to achieve financial independence or make ends meet for their little ones.

Familiarize ourselves with some legal aspects of women’s rights

Studying can be annoying, but knowledge can go a long way. Especially when it comes to women’s rights, some aspects of the law are beneficial to women. The problem is — it’s usually 1) written in fancy legalese English and 2) boring and overwhelming to read. In fact, many problems that women encounter are because they’re not informed of the laws protecting them and how to work around them. Plus, bringing things to court can feel so stressful, which is why some just choose to “expedite” via the traditional gulpe de gulat trick, or when crudely translated into English, “pre-emptive strike.”

Besides, many women have held senatorial seats, pushing for laws that would make things easier for both parents and women. One law that was written to protect women was Republic Act No. 11313, or the Safe Spaces Act.

Have a Girls’ Night party at the end of the month

Every woman has their dream version of a girls’ night. For some, it’s going bar hopping and reliving their younger years. Others would prefer online streaming or viewing or playing a party game. Either way, having a Girls’ Night party keeps the worries at bay. Besides, it’s not everyday that the whole barkada is complete to have fun.

End Women’s Month 2025 with a bang!

Although the fight for equality is far from over, Women’s Month 2025 reminds every woman that their empowerment comes with responsibility. Women now are in a unique position to offer views that were previously discarded; all we have to do now is shine it up and present it again. Most especially when we’re moms, we have a chance to change how the world sees things — especially when we’re intentional with our decisions.
