Premier telecommunications company Eastern Communications continues to demonstrate its dedication to empowering women professionals and leaders in the digital age as it celebrates National Women's Month with the help of its partner associations.

With the strong message to #EvolveEveryday and advocating for fair treatment and equity in the workplace, Eastern Communications collaborates with the Association of Image Consultants International (AICI), the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines  (ECCP), and the Healthcare Information Management Association of the Philippines (HIMAP) to support women.

In time for the International Women’s Day on March 8, 2023, these initiatives aim to celebrate women’s achievements, raise awareness about discrimination, and take action to drive gender equity and equality in the workplace.

Why Every Woman Needs a Partner in Health

Women play an essential role in society. Studies have shown that women make better leaders, bring about higher returns to economies, and improve the lives of people in communities.

Women’s position in society means it is important to prioritize and understand their health. They face a variety of health issues, with cardiovascular disease as the leading cause of death for women around the world. According to The Lancet, 35% of deaths in women worldwide are caused by cardiovascular disease.

Women are also at risk for cancer, a leading cause of death worldwide. The World Health Organization revealed that it accounted for 10 million deaths in 2020 or the equivalent of nearly one in six deaths.

Breast cancer is the most common of its kind in the Philippines and the world. It is the majority type of cancer that affects Filipino women at 31%. Additionally, it is the third most fatal type of cancer in the Philippines, just behind lung and liver cancer. Global figures are just as alarming: the disease is the most common cause of cancer death in women.

3 ways to express your creativity in International Women’s Month

March is International Women’s Month, and all women everywhere deserve to celebrate their strength, intelligence, and the creativity that they bring to the world. 

If you’re a woman, it’s never a bad time to show everyone what you’ve got. But if you’re not yet sure how to express your creativity and talent, here are a few suggestions to get the juices flowing:

1. 1. Start a small business

Women deserve to succeed! If you’ve got an entrepreneurial mind and spirit, now is a great time to start a small business, especially as people are staying home and ordering different products online. Maybe you’ve got a secret recipe that you want to share with the world, or a product you think people would love. Get it off the ground and show everyone that women can make waves!
