We celebrate the growth and achievements of women’s organizations and movements in the Philippines, fighting for women’s rights and for gender justice alongside calls for a bet
ter world for their families and children. ORIANG is a contribution to this fight – a movement of women from urban and rural communities, factories, schools and universities, giving voice to the demands and aspirations of women. ORIANG is the name of a Filipino woman revolutionary – Gregoria de Jesus.We take her name to honor her, to hold her up as a shining example of women going beyond the boundaries of tradition, women of courage and daring, women giving their lives for the liberation of country and their people. We take her name to send a message that the task of revolutionary transformation has not been completed, that this task is now more urgent than ever. Together we will forge and implement a program and strategy for organizing and mobilizing women to fight for reproductive justice, freedom from discrimination and violence against women, environmental and ecological integrity, social and economic emancipation and political empowerment.
