PINAY KILOS FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY

In celebration of its first year anniversary, Pinay Kilos or Pink conducted a campus – based women empowerment and youth leader’s camp called CAM – PINK last April 4, 5 and 6 at Western Mindanao State University grounds.

Activities were conducted simultaneously while several tents on reproductive health, personality development and social issues were made open to public especially women from several communities within Zamboanga City and Basilan Province.

Diverse parallel sessions / lectures on various topics ranging from Family Planning, Menopause, Homosexuality, Migration, Sexually Transmitted Infections, US Military Presence in the Philippines, and National and Mindanao Situation. Livelihood opportunity lectures and trainings were conducted and made possible thru the help of Anak Mindanao (AMIN) Partylist. AMIN Party List facilitated the participation of Technical Education for Skills and Development Authority to the Camp Sessions. The Heaven’s Cure success story on coconut products was shared by Mr. Ric Mactal himself, the person behind said products.

30 in and out of school youth who actively participated in the camp for two nights were given lectures and trainings on leadership, multi – culturalism and conflict resolution.

This first camp of PINK was successfully attended by at least 130 women members from several communities within Zamboanga City and nearby provinces. This number excludes scores of walk in participants. The organization was rewarded with invitations and requests from participants that similar yet specific forums and trainings on topics which they found relevant to their respective communities be conducted in their localities.

With the groups conviction and effort to develop and help implement programs for Mindanao women for the promotion of their rights and welfare and to further facilitate access to relevant information, basic services and livelihood opportunities, Pink had worked with some individuals and organizations to successfully conduct every activity in the Cam-Pink.

As an advocate of peace, Anak Mindanao sponsored tent in the camp that specifically gave lectures and provided materials concerning Peace Process and other issues that may directly or indirectly affect the women of Mindanao in particular, and also in recognition of women’s indispensable role in promoting peace and development.

Mr. Henry Tianero from Department of Labor and Employment also participated together with TESDA. Red Cross Zamboanga Volunteers made a big role in the facilitation of most of the lectures and trainings. Dra. Norvie Taruc gave insights in line with reproductive health along with Mr. Jerico Bustamante who spoke about Global warming. Mr. Ari of Ateneo de Zamboanga discussed issues on Homosexuality. And finally, Mr. Herbert Docena of Focus on the Global South lectured and shared information on the presence of U.S Military in the country, more specifically in Mindanao.

In a continuing journey towards empowerment, peace and progress for women and for the country, Pinay Kilos (PinK) continuously works on various scheduled projects, and hopefully conduct a bigger CAM-PINK in the near future.

Mabuhay ka Pinay!
