UP Babaylan x USC Gender Desk : Book Donation for the Gender and LGBT Studies Section of the UP Center for Women's Studies Library

The UP CWS Research and Publications Department commemorated Women's Month in its own sublime way, made possible with the gracious donation of women's and LGBT studies books from the Gender Committee (AY 2011-2013) of the UP Diliman University Student Council. Thank you, USC, for the wonderful stack!

We would like to invite students, academics and everyone interested in gender and sexuality studies to pay our library a visit to take advantage of these excellent educational materials. Conversely, we would also like to call on those who may want to find their books a new home and share them with the community. Help us enrich our library resources so that we could best serve the people as the university hub for gender- and sexuality-related issues.

UP Babaylan X END OF THE WORLD

Here's a toast to the END OF THE WORLD! A world of hate, inequality and injustice.

UP Babaylan remains hopeful that the world as we know it will soon end. This world full of injustice and inequality, as manifested in the continued homo/bi/transphobia that many LGBTs still experience because of their gender identity and sexual orientation. It is time for a new compassionate world to begin, a world that respects and embraces the diversity of its peoples.

Let's all usher in a new world, a world wherein EQUALITY and LOVE will reign.

CHEERS!
