NAPOLCOM Joins the Nation in Celebrating National Women’s Month 2026

This March 2026, the National Police Commission proudly joins the entire nation in celebrating National Women’s Month with the theme: “WE for Gender Equality and an Inclusive Society.”

NAPOLCOM stands in solidarity with all Filipino women, leaders, public servants, mothers, daughters, and changemakers, who continue to shape our institutions and communities with courage, competence, and compassion.

As an oversight body of the Philippine National Police, the Commission remains committed to advancing gender-responsive policies, promoting inclusive governance, and ensuring that systems within the law enforcement sector are fair, safe, and empowering for women, especially those from underrepresented sectors.

We recognize the invaluable leadership of Filipinas in public service and reaffirm our role in fostering an environment where equality is not just an aspiration, but a lived reality.

This month and beyond, let us move forward together, because gender equality is a shared responsibility.
