𝐃𝐎𝐒𝐓 1 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐈𝐒𝐏𝐒𝐂

Dr. Teresita A. Tabaog, Regional Director of the Department of Science and Technology Region 1 and a member of the National GAD Resource Program (NGRP), recently led a series of comprehensive training sessions on Gender Sensitivity and Gender Mainstreaming at Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College (ISPSC). These sessions were held across the Sta. Maria, Candon, Narvacan, Cervantes, Santiago, and Tagudin campuses on September 27 October 18, 28, and 29, 2024, aimed to build a more inclusive, gender-responsive culture in both academic and workplace settings. In her role as a member of the ISPSC Board of Regents, Dr. Tabaog shared valuable insights on integrating Gender and Development (GAD) principles into academic institutions, inspiring ISPSC faculty and staff to advance gender equity within their professional roles and campus communities. Her expertise highlighted practical strategies for effective gender mainstreaming, empowering participants to promote an inclusive and respectful environment across all ISPSC campuses.

The first two sessions were held at the ISPSC Sta. Maria Campus focused on Gender Sensitivity Training for faculty and non-teaching personnel. Dr. Tabaog’s presentation covered foundational gender concepts, the distinctions between s*x and gender, and the impact of social institutions on gender perceptions. She also introduced participants to the differences between equality and equity, emphasizing the importance of fostering an environment that recognizes and respects these distinctions. Through hands-on activities and group discussions, participants engaged in an in-depth examination of gender roles and stereotypes and explored strategies for minimizing biases in workplace interactions.

The subsequent Gender Mainstreaming in the Workplace seminars, held at ISPSC’s Main Campus, targeted faculty and non-teaching staff from other five campuses. Dr. Tabaog introduced participants to the principles of gender mainstreaming, focusing on how GAD initiatives could be systematically integrated into institutional policies and practices. She provided a practical framework for advancing gender sensitivity across campuses covering the four key entry points for gender mainstreaming. In addition, she led discussions on Women’s Economic Empowerment, underscoring the importance of equitable practices in creating gender parity, particularly in leadership roles and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields.
The training sessions were lauded as an enlightening experience for many participants. Through interactive workshops, real-life examples, and engaging activities, participants enhanced their understanding of gender issues and renewed their commitment to promoting a more inclusive, equitable environment at ISPSC. Supported by the ISPSC administration and led by Dr. Tabaog’s expertise, these trainings mark a significant step forward in ISPSC’s dedication to gender equality and inclusivity in higher education.
