Family Planning is more than a method to prevent pregnancy. It encourages couples to understand their bodies, communicate openly, and take shared responsibility for their reproductive health. ๐Ÿ‘ซ
By tracking fertility signs and cycles, partners gain insight into their health while actively participating in decision-making together. It also allows couples to thoughtfully consider important factors such as financial readiness and physical capabilities before planning children. ๐Ÿ 
This approach fosters awareness, trust, and mutual respect, helping couples make informed choices that are sustainable for both their health and lifestyle.
Practicing Natural Family Planning empowers partners to plan responsibly, prioritize their well-being, and build a strong foundation for a lifetime partnership. ๐Ÿ“

Just like Barbie, you can be whatever you want. Like literallyโ€ฆ ANYTHING! โญ๏ธ

Now is the high time to diminish gender roles in our society. No โ€˜manโ€™ jobs or hobbies must exist because in order to achieve equality, gender norms should be shattered.

A woman can be an engineer, a scientist, an inventor, a director, a judge, a police officer, a driver, and even a president!

To cap off womenโ€™s month, it is important to remember that celebrating women transcends even after March. ๐ŸŽ€

PCOS (Polycystic O***y Syndrome) has been in the background for way too long.
Too many people are left guessing about their bodies. Irregular cycles, breakouts, sudden changes, while thinking itโ€™s โ€œnormalโ€ or something they just have to deal with lightly. But itโ€™s not.
Itโ€™s time we put out the fact that these symptoms contribute to an impending danger in the reproductive system of women.
Let us recognize its existence and learn more about it in order to help women experiencing it the kind of understanding they deserve.

Ever wondered why womenโ€™s products are sold at a much higher price than normal menโ€™s products? ๐ŸŒธ
Say at a mall you decided to buy a 170ml menโ€™s anti-dandruff shampoo, it can cost you around โ‚ฑ160 to โ‚ฑ180 pesos. But when you try to buy a womenโ€™s anti-dandruff shampoo, it costs around โ‚ฑ240 to โ‚ฑ270. Thatโ€™s ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ธ ๐˜๐—ฎ๐˜… for you!
The ๐๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐“๐š๐ฑ is the additional amount women are charged for the products and services that they need in their daily lives. This can be evident in the prices of necessities such as shampoo, soap, personal care products, and even in clothes.
This gender-based pricing also creeps in early on, as girlsโ€™ toys are even priced higher than the boysโ€™ toys (Rogers et al, 2016). A doll is significantly more expensive than toy cars.
In the U.S., citizens are actively against it as they filed different petitions to put an end to it. In May 2025, the Pink Tax Repeal Act was reintroduced to congress and has been left in that place since then.
For equality to push forward, it is important to start small and omit the small acts of inequality in our society. Let us open our eyes, especially in our country and the worldโ€™s state today. It is important for us to fight for equality more than ever before. โœŠ
Itโ€™s time to axe the pink tax!

Many people associate the menstrual cycle as merely โ€œthe time of the month,โ€ yet it is a structured process made up of distinct phases that each serve a role in reproductive health. โŒš
From menstruation to the fertile window, these stages influence when pregnancy is more or less likely to occur, though patterns can vary between individuals. ๐ŸŒธ
Understanding these phases helps build awareness of normal body changes and supports informed decisions related to reproductive health and family planning. ๐Ÿ“
Taking the time to learn about your cycle is an important step toward being more informed and responsible for your health. ๐ŸŽ€

Contraception goes beyond preventing pregnancy. It involves informed choices, shared responsibility, and an understanding of how different methods affect the body. ๐Ÿ‘ซ
There are various options available, from hormonal methods to natural approaches, each with its own level of effectiveness, benefits, and possible risks. No single method works the same for everyone, which is why awareness and proper guidance are essential. ๐Ÿ“š
Misconceptions and unequal expectations often shape how contraception is viewed and practiced. Addressing these gaps is important in promoting safer and more responsible reproductive health decisions. ๐Ÿ“
Being knowledgeable about contraception is a step toward responsible decision-making and shared accountability. ๐Ÿง

The IRHโ€“GDM 2 Project Implementation Review (PIR) was successfully concluded, marking a meaningful milestone in our collective efforts to strengthen the management of hyperglycemia in pregnancy through nutrition education and services.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all partners, implementers, speakers, panelists, moderator, and participants whose active engagement and collaboration made the review both productive and impactful. With strong attendance, a well-paced program, and rich discussions throughout the day, the PIR provided a valuable space to reflect on implementation experiences, share key findings, and identify pathways forward.

Important project outcomes were highlighted, including progress in guidelines development, positive reception of the statistics and e-referral components, and encouraging preliminary endline survey and cost-effectiveness results. Beyond the technical discussions, what truly stood out was the spirit of camaraderie, shared learning, and partnership that defined the event.

The event also featured the launch of the GDM 2 publication, which serves as a practical resource and blueprint for implementersโ€”capturing lessons learned, evidence, and insights from the GDM 1 and GDM 2 project journey.
