As 2019 are just days away, the search for the perfect planner still continues as it is a part of the preparation for the upcoming year. Planners are great companions in plotting out your agendas and schedules as well as keeping your life organized. Many planners with various themes are available in stores, physical or online, that feature different colors, designs, and some – an advocacy.
In these modern times, an advocacy is important in building a progressive society. Men and women continue to fight for rights which includes women’s rights. In the Philippines, various groups and organizations continue to be advocates for women and a great part of it is educating Filipinos to respect and empower women.
Woman, Create – a Philippine-based arts platform whose goal is to empower and engage women through art and creative discourse, has created a planner that aims to expand consciousness and avenue for transformation, healing and authentic empowerment. It features pages with artworks and written pieces from different talented artists and writers all over the Philippines. It places feminism in the Filipina perspective. It tackles various issues under feminism which are curated into 12 months. Some of the issues included are: Feminism’s Relevance, Growth, Beauty Within and Without, View of Bodies, A Critical View on Sexuality and Sexual Integrity, Loving our Filipino Skin, Sisterhood is Powerful, Ending Patriarchal Violence, Men As Comrades in Struggle & Empowering Men, and The True Meaning of Women Empowerment, which are split into 3 chapters.

It features two cover designs: The All Women (women portraits cover) and the Feminism Together (pink cover). It also features various artworks as monthly dividers by Team Woman, Create and Monthly Enders featuring 365 Wonders 2019 Contributors.
The 365 Wonders 2019 Creative Planner, Edition: Feminism creatively presents feminism as a journey and not as a lifestyle. Feminism involves growth, learning, and understanding. It does not advocate anti-male or a man-hating culture but rather directs its focus towards equality among men and women.
What makes this planner even better is that a portion of the proceeds will be allotted to the Young Focus – a non-profit organization that moves to provide education from preschool to college for kids of Smokey Mountain, Tondo Manila.
In our own ways, everyone has the power to empower and support women. Woman, Create made a planner that is not only practical but also aims to educate Filipinos regarding the journey of feminism which contributes in empowering women. Art is an avenue to empower us. This planner is a form of art that empowers women.
