As the world celebrates WomensMonth, Filipino experts and advocates stressed that women from all walks of life still fight for inclusivity and equity. EmbraceEquity
Joining the call for inclusivity and equity, CNN Philippines has launched the"Embrace Equity" summit, with a series of talks highlighting women's decades-long challenges as well as the needed actions so they can confidently take up space.
LGBTQIA+ advocate Thysz Estrada echoed Habijan's statement, saying that every person must feel seen and heard. "We cannot unlearn what we don't know as harmful. We should educate ourselves about how unfair it is to box people, judge people, not to accept diversity, not to practice inclusivity," she added.
For Habijan, allowing trans women and non-binary students to attend schools and come as they are would further expand inclusion across the country. To engage more women, United Nations Women Philippines Program Officer Catherine Torres said the organization creates conditions where women flourish. She said that if women are empowered, the situation would trigger a just and peaceful world.
Meanwhile, Cherrie Atilano, AGREA Philippines president and founding farmer, said the organization has been beefing up its efforts to push more women, including single mothers, to join the labor force, particularly in the agriculture sector.Tina Boado, Queer and Safe Spaces co-founder, also noted that most of the people in the country who are not in the labor force are women and mothers.
