Local government units (LGUs) in the Philippines play a vital role in advancing womens rights through GAD programs. From livelihood training for women to protection services against gender-based violence, LGUs are at the forefront of change. One remarkable example is the implementation of GAD budgets by LGUs, allocating at least 5% of their annual budget to gender-responsive projects. This ensures that women have access to education, health, and livelihood opportunities. Empowered women create empowered communities. Lets support and celebrate these initiatives!
