In light of the recent discrimination case one of our esteemed member is experiencing, UP Babaylan will further the advocacy for gender equality and social justice by initiating and organizing the first Roundtable Discussion on Gender Policies. The Round table discussion is organized to draft policies for the protection of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) in UP. Hopefully, this policy will be adapted by other academic institutions. This is part of the ongoing campaign of UP Babaylan for advancing gender justice and promoting policies for sexual orientation and gender identity in the University, securing and creating a humane environment for learning. The discussion will also highlight issues and concepts concerning Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender individuals.
We all are aware of the problem. Together, let us provide the real solution.
