Fresh Tools That Make Equality Easy to See and Share
PIA-10 and PCW-NMFO co-develop the “Giya sa Gender-Sensitibo nga Pagbalita.” They create a digital media guide for private media, regional line agencies, local government units, and information officers of state universities and colleges. Moreover, this guide supports stakeholders in delivering gender-responsive services and reporting.
They also co-produce “AlaGAD sa DYES,” a quarterly video magazine. It features initiatives, women’s stories, and gender and development practices. The first video magazine appears during the signing and covers gender-fair language, Pasundayag, and a “Myth vs. Fact” on GAD concepts.
