Capping this year’s 18-Day Campaign to End VAWC (RA 10398), CHEDRO I gathered GAD focal persons from various SUCs and HEIs across Region 1 for a meaningful and empowering discussion on strengthening gender responsiveness in higher education.
The event, graced by CHEDRO I Director Cherrie Melanie Ancheta-Diego, CESO III, and led by Dr. Ric Ky Ricky A. Cera as overall event head, created an atmosphere of solidarity, collaboration, and commitment to advancing women’s rights and inclusive institutional practices.
Together, we continue to build campuses where safety, dignity, and equality thrive.
