In celebration of International Women’s Day on Wednesday, March 8, the Philippine Commission on Women together with UN Women, held a discussion on how social media platforms can be a safe mental health space for women.

In a forum titled, “Breaking the Code: Equality for All through Technology and Innovation,” athlete Hali Wong said that building a boundary from those who critique or bring distress to one’s mental health can help in achieving peace of mind.

According to Wong, talks about mental health boomed positively because of the lockdown and restrictions implemented due to the pandemic. Meanwhile, Stephanie Naval, founder of Empath PH, noted that social media can also be detrimental as it makes people compare themselves with others. Moreover, Bing Fortin from the Babaeng BiyaHero program advised that they are offering free mental health support, particularly for women migrants.
