One of the pressing concerns that parents face in raising their children is the different gender issues arising from their unique social location and gender roles. To address this and to properly educate the members of the REINA Federation of Parents Association, Inc., the SLSU Extensions Office facilitated a Gender Sensitivity Training on October 12-13, 2023 at Brgy. Ilog, Infanta, Quezon.
Dr. Leomar C. Miano, Director of Extensions Office and SLSU GAD Focal Person serves as the resource speaker during the training. She discusses topics related to gender sensitivity including GAD concepts, gender analysis, and understanding of SOGIE. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing gender issues present in different sectors. She further discusses the significance of gender analysis to assess the immediate needs of the community.
The parents engage during the discussions addressing the different gender issues they have encountered, specifically in raising their children. They also activity participated in the activities which increased their awareness of GAD concepts and principles.
This activity kick-starts the partnership between REINA Federation of Parents Association, Inc. and SLSU, to assist the parents and children inthe municipalities of Real, Infanta, and General Nakar.
