How do experiences of violence vary by SOGIE among Filipino adolescents?

A new PIDS Discussion Paper finds that sexual minority adolescents have higher odds of domestic violence and bullying than their heterosexual peers. The study also identifies differences in risk associated with gender expression and calls attention to the need for inclusive child protection and antibullying policies.

How do safer homes and schools shape human capital? Follow PIDS this September for DPRM 2026, themed “Building Strong Institutions, Unlocking Human Capital Potential.”

Ang batas ay para sa lahat. Walang babae ang dapat maiwan—lalo na ang mga Katutubong kababaihan.

Sa pagdiriwang ng 17th Signing Anniversary ng Magna Carta of Women (MCW), alamin kung paano pinangangalagaan ng Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act (IPRA) at ng Magna Carta of Women ang mga karapatan ng mga Katutubong kababaihan at tinutugunan ang magkakaugnay na diskriminasyong kanilang nararanasan bilang babae at bilang Katutubo.

Tuklasin sa handbook na ito ang mga batas na nagsusulong ng pagkakapantay-pantay, paggalang sa kultura, at proteksiyon sa karapatan ng bawat Katutubong babae.

Ngayong araw, Agosto 14, ating ginugunita ang paglagda sa makasaysayang Republic Act No. 9710 o ang Magna Carta of Women. Ang batas na ito ang komprehensibong batas sa ating bansa na kumikilala, nagtatanggol, at nagtataguyod ng mga karapatan ng kababaihan.

Ito rin ang lokal na pagsasabatas ng mga probisyon ng Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), partikular sa pagbibigay-kahulugan sa gender discrimination, state obligations, substantive equality, at temporary special measures.

Maging ang paggamit ng salitang “of” sa pangalan nito ay kinikilala ang women's participation and ownership of the bill.

Labing-pitong taon ng pagsusulong ng karapatang pantao ng bawat kababaihang Pilipino. Sama-sama tayo para sa mas maunlad, mas ligtas, mas malaya, at mas inklusibong Pilipinas. 💜
