Women’s group to back Robredo’s potential presidential run
A group named Women for Leni is set to launch this weekend to rally support for Vice President Leni Robredo's potential presidential bid in the 2022 elections.
The virtual launch event on Saturday, July 24, will aim to convince Robredo to run for president, despite her undecided stance and low survey numbers.
The group, initially formed in 2016 to support Robredo's vice presidential bid, believes she is the most qualified candidate to champion women's rights.
The group's advocacies include the economic empowerment of women and the protection of women's rights across the Philippines.
Speakers representing Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao will highlight the crucial role of women in society, particularly their significant contributions as frontline healthcare workers during the pandemic.
Women for Leni emphasizes the need for executive leadership that is responsive to the varied needs of Filipino women, especially following President Rodrigo Duterte's term.
