The Venue

The Philippine Women’s University or PWU is a non-stock, non-for-profit, non-sectarian educational institution duly existing under the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. The history of the Philippine Women’s University began on June 9, 1919, when educator and civic rights leaders Francisca Tirona Benitez along with six other women, Clara Aragon, Concepcion Aragon, Paz Marquez Benitez, (sister-in-law of Francisca Benitez) Carolina Ocampo Palma, Mercedes Rivera, and Socorro Marquez Zaballero, founded the Philippine Women’s College, with Paz serving as its first president. It was a time when women’s rights and empowerment began to take hold in the national consciousness in the wake of the success of women’s suffrage rights in other countries, especially in the United States. Thus, the college aimed to prepare women for life service and leadership.
