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. 💜

Periods are a normal part of life. Yet across Asia and the Pacific, stigma and harmful norms continue to limit access to essential products and information.

Too often, this leads to women and girls missing school, work and daily activities, restricting their rights and opportunities.

Self-care should be accessible, inclusive and equitable for everyone.

Gender-responsive self-care interventions help remove barriers to health services, reduce stigma and discrimination and empower people to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.

By integrating gender equality into the design and delivery of self-care interventions, health systems can better respond to the diverse needs of individuals, expand equitable access to essential health services, and advance Universal Health Coverage.

This Self-Care Month, WHO reaffirms that achieving better health outcomes means ensuring that self-care interventions are people-centred, rights-based and responsive to the needs of all.
