The Buhay Foundation for Women and Girl-Child

The Buhay Foundation for Women and Girl-Child was established in February 2000. Its mission is to be a women-led organisation that provides a focal point and stimulus for the social, political and economic empowerment of women and the advocacy and defense of the human rights and full development of the Filipino people, particularly women and girls. The foundation aims to examine and address socio-political economic realities from the perspectives of women’s life experiences, and contribute towards socio-cultural transformation processes leading to a positive environment for the recognition, protection and realisation of the rights of Filipino women and girls nationally and internationally.
