The 1st BDJ Summit: Women Helping Women
In celebration of its 10th year, Belle de Jour is continuing its efforts to empower Filipinas to live life to the fullest

MANILA, Philippines – On April 16, Belle de Jour will hold their first women’s summit, dubbed “Women Helping Women.”

Distinguished women’s rights advocates and changemakers will take the lead in discussing the current issues faced by women today. The event will take place from 10 am to 9 pm at SM Aura’s Samsung Hall.

A woman’s actions, big or small, matter because they can make the change 

The BDJ Women’s Summit will be a day full of highly interactive and experiential learnings.

Meet like-minded women who have the courage to talk about society’s issues – both the good and the bad – that they encounter everyday. Hear about success stories, personal social causes, and inspiring initiatives of self-proficiency, anti-intellectualism, legacy-building, and meaningful social impact from empowered females firsthand. 

This summit aims to be a glimpse into what women, as individuals, and people, as a community, can do to inspire and empower other women to help themselves and others.
