ISU Gender & Development

Ngayong Rural Workers Month, kaisa ang Philippine Commission on Women sa pagkilala sa mahalagang papel ng ating mga magsasaka, mangingisda, manggagawa sa bukirin, at mga negosyante sa kanayunan. Sila ang sandigan ng ating mga komunidad at mahalagang katuwang sa pagbuo ng mas matatag at masaganang Bagong Pilipinas.

Kabilang dito ang mga kababaihan sa kanayunan na may malaking ambag sa produksyon ng pagkain, pangangalaga sa likas na yaman, at pagpapatatag ng kabuhayan ng kanilang mga pamilya at komunidad. Gayunman, patuloy pa rin silang humaharap sa mga hamon sa lupa, teknolohiya, serbisyong pinansyal, at iba pang oportunidad.

Kaya’t patuloy nating itaguyod ang mga patakarang nagbibigay ng pantay na oportunidad, sumusuporta sa inklusibo at sustenableng pag-unlad, at kumikilala sa halaga ng kanilang trabaho.

Dahil ang mas maayos na kinabukasan ay nagsisimula sa pagkilala sa mga taong araw-araw bumubuo nito.

| Gender-Responsive Assessment Tools for Evaluating Instructional Materials in Basic, Higher, and Technical-Vocational Education

The Gender-Responsive Assessment Tools for Evaluating Instructional Materials in Basic, Higher, and Technical-Vocational Education is the first of its kind in the Philippines. It was developed in response to evidence of persistent gender biases in instructional materials across education levels. The tool is used to evaluate or make judgment on instructional materials whether they are free from gender biases and discrimination to achieve gender equality and women empowerment, and to decrease the gender gap in society. As an assessment tool, it provides guidelines for identifying and eliminating gender biases in instructional materials content. It is designed to aid educators, curriculum developers, resource evaluators, and institutions in ensuring that the learning materials foster inclusion, empowerment, and gender equality across all levels of the Philippine education system.

Kalayaan para magmahal. Kalayaan para magpahayag. Kalayaan para maging sarili.

Ang kalayaan ay para sa lahat—walang pinipili, walang iniiwan.

Isang lipunan kung saan ang bawat tao ay may karapatang mabuhay nang may respeto at dignidad.

Pagpupugay sa lahat ng ating mga makabagong bayani! 🫡

Sa ika-31 National Migrant Workers’ Day, kinikilala natin ang sipag, tibay, at sakripisyo ng ating migrant workers na malayo man sa pamilya, patuloy pa ring nagsusumikap para sa kanilang kinabukasan at para sa bansa.

Saludo higit sa mga kababaihang migrant workers na araw-araw na humaharap sa hamon ng trabaho at migration, habang patuloy na pinangangalagaan ang kanilang mga pamilya at karapatan. Kaisa ninyo ang PCW sa pagsusulong ng inyong proteksyon at kapakanan.

🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🌈

This month, we celebrate love, courage, diversity, and the freedom to be our authentic selves. Pride is a reminder that everyone deserves respect, acceptance, and equal opportunities regardless of who they are or whom they love.

Let us continue to build a community where kindness, understanding, and inclusion shine brighter than prejudice and discrimination.

Love is love. 🏳️‍🌈
Be proud. Be kind. Be you.

Today, as we honor the Philippine flag, let us remember that beyond being a symbol of nationhood, it carries the story of sacrifice and courage. It stands as a reminder of May 28, 1898, when the Philippine flag was first raised and waved in Cavite, a powerful moment that marked the Filipino people’s growing unity and struggle for independence.

In remembering this historic moment, may the colors of our flag continue to call us toward dignity, equality, and empowerment for all, inspiring us to build a nation where every Filipino—especially women and marginalized sectors—is included, empowered, and able to shape our collective future.
