May is celebrated as Farmer's and Fisherfolks Month in the Philippines, it's essential to recognize the invaluable contributions of rural women in the Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry (AFF) sector. Despite their pivotal roles, they endure marginalization in various aspects such as employment, income, land ownership, access to resources, basic services, and involvement in decision-making processes. This underscores the urgent need for greater recognition, support, and empowerment of rural women to ensure their full participation and equitable treatment in these vital sectors.

"Women have always been the primary storytellers, the keepers of community, the secrets, and the guardians of the hearth. Our stories celebrate life and warn of its dangers. Our wisdom guides generations, and our strength has held us together in the most challenging of times."
