DENR Caraga kicks-off Women’s Month 2021 celebration

DENR Caraga headed by Regional Executive Director Nonito M. Tamayo, joins the nation in celebrating the National Women's Month 2021 Kick-off Activity with the theme "𝐖𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧" and this year’s campaign “𝙅𝙪𝙖𝙣𝙖 𝙇𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙣 𝙨𝙖 𝙋𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙮𝙖: 𝙆𝙖𝙮𝙖!” on March 1, 2020 at the DENR Caraga Regional Covered Court, Brgy. Ambago, Butuan City.

The celebration serves as a tribute, a platform, and a call to action that highlights the extraordinary roles of ordinary 𝐉𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐬 in the society as trailblazers and harbingers of change. This celebration is also a venue to discuss and address the issues that women continue to face so empowerment can be fully achieved. The campaign is also a call for concrete, sustainable, and inclusive actions towards gender equality.

This year’s campaign is different from the previous ones because it is set in the COVID-19 pandemic backdrop, which posed both challenges and opportunities for women. Hence, this year’s observance highlights women’s participation in battling the pandemic as well as discusses gender issues exacerbated by the pandemic. It is the time to delve deep into the gender issues that emerged or become more felt during the health crisis, feature women who thrived despite the circumstances, and share support systems and government programs that address women’s issues and concerns.

Selected personnel wearing the advocacy shirts and facemasks joined the call to advance women's rights, gender equality and end discrimination against women through the One Billion Rising (OBR) mass dance.

Moreover, flyers about the Use of Non-sexist Language in all Official Documents, Communications and Issuances were distributed as part of the kick-off activity.

Proper health protocols were observed during the activity.
