I am honored to have shared my work as a legislator for 25 years in the UN Women panel discussion with Australian Ambassador Hae Kyong “HK” Yu, moderated by UN Women National Goodwill Ambassador Karen Davila. As principal author of the Anti-violence Against Women and Children law in my first term as Senator in 1998, I stressed the need to effectively implement our laws, protect the rights of women and girls, provide livelihood opportunities for women, as well as basic needs for sanitation and nutrition, and training for climate and disaster risk reduction. Much to do for women, who are said to hold up “half the sky”.
Congratulations, Karen Davila and Len Mesina, for a productive discussion of like-minded individuals.

Ikinararangal kong ibahagi ang aking trabaho bilang mambabatas sa loob ng 25 taon sa panel discussion ng UN Women kasama si Australian Ambassador Hae Kyong “HK” Yu, na pinangasiwaan ni UN Women National Goodwill Ambassador Karen Davila. Bilang principal author ng Anti-Violence Against Women and Children law sa aking unang termino, binigyang-diin ko ang pangangailangan na epektibong maipatupad ang ating mga batas, magbigay ng oportunidad sa mga gawaing pangkabuhayan para sa kababaihan, gayundin ang mga pangunahing pangangailangan para sa kalinisan at nutrisyon, at pagsasanay para sa climate and disaster risk reduction.
Binabati ko sina Karen Davila at Len Mesina para sa isang produktibong talakayan!
