Hi,
The practice of leaving tefillin on during a brit milah is meant to demonstrate the need for a visible sign of our relationship with G-d. Just as tefillin function as such a sign, so the brit milah will function as such a sign.
(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 4:101:4)
[Note: Rav Moshe does not address the question of having a sign for women.]
Gmar tov,
Mordechai
