RISING FOR OUR BODIES, OUR EARTH, AND OUR FUTURE!
This international women's Month, Innabuyog Kalinga joined the global call to end gender-based violence. Women came together to stand, dance, and rise in different countries advocating for women’s rights. In the Philippines, our fight goes beyond addressing Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC), it extends to resisting corruption, fascism, and other forces that threaten our rights and our lands.
Innabuyog Kalinga organized and joined in a series of One Billion Rising (OBR) events across the province in celebration of the women's month, bringing together women and communicate in solidarity.
Through the OBR, we transformed pain and trauma into power, turning our struggles into collective strength and hope. Every step, every movement becomes a statement WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED!
These events were more than just dances, they were acts of courage, of reclaiming our bodies, our lands, and our future. Through the One Billion Rising, we affirm that when women rise together, our community rise with us.
As we close out Women’s Month, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to the incredible women of Kalinga who rose, danced, and made their voices heard during the One Billion Rising event. With sincere appreciation to the women of Cawagayan, Pinukpuk; the City employees of Tabuk & women legislators, the clergy women, the zumba coaches, and to all who supported and participated.
For and on behalf of Innabuyog Kalinga, thank you for your courage, your energy, and your commitment to a future free from violence.
While the month is ending, the "rising" continues because Kalinga women are not exempted on the impact of the crisis brought about by the imperialists war aggression, the oil price hike. Crisis is already evident due to the effects of the recent disasters, many has not yet recover from it. Here comes another blow where women are the most affected ones as they are the incharge of the budgeting inside their homes. We have so much to do so we shall keep rising, organizing, and mobilising our sector to reclaim our future, defend our freedom and our lands!
