#TALABIntegralEcology

The speakers for this workshop will be CASMV Co-Commissioner Beyonce Acidera, CASMV Co-Commissioner Clara Isabel Novicio, Commission on Socio-Political Development (CSPD) Co-Commissioner Charm Matulac, and CSPD Co-Commissioner Yannah Guda. | via @Tyler_TheGUIDON


Novicio opens the workshop by defining ecofeminism and giving examples of ecofeminist policies, citing the Philippines’ Gender Action Plan (GAP) under the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) 2024-2030 as an example. | via @Tyler_TheGUIDON #TALABIntegralEcology


The workshop proper starts, with attendees being split into breakout groups to discuss existing university policies' impact on gender and environmental issues, the gaps they fail to address, and future means of engagement in policy-making. | via @Tyler_TheGUIDON


The first group discussion ends with attendees being asked to reflect on how they can inspire solidarity among students to champion ecofeminist initiatives within and beyond Ateneo keeping intersectional perspectives in mind. | via @Tyler_TheGUIDON #TALABIntegralEcology


The second and last part of the program begins, with representatives from each group called to synthesize and share with the rest of the attendees their group's insights from their breakout discussions. | via @Tyler_TheGUIDON #TALABIntegralEcology


For another sharer, the biggest gap is that the university policies are set in stone before the students have a chance to change them. Instead of top-down, it should be bottom-up instead. | via @Tyler_TheGUIDON #TALABIntegralEcology


The lack of inclusive policies for persons with disabilities as well as policies on cuts are also identified to be a problem. One group emphasizes the intersectionality of issues, and the problem of the top-down approach. | via @Tyler_TheGUIDON #TALABIntegralEcology


Another group notes that through the lens of ecofeminism, the subjugation of women can also be viewed parallel to the subjugation of the environment. | via @Tyler_TheGUIDON #TALABIntegralEcology


The fifth group points out how the university's administration is male-dominated and that feminism is not a topic often shared about. Again, this group also calls for better involvement from students in policy-making. | via @Tyler_TheGUIDON #TALABIntegralEcology


Another group talks about the issues with the North Carpark construction and the dress code policies in response to the heat wave. For them, the latter policies do not feel inclusive as it leads to problems with gender sensitivity. | via @Tyler_TheGUIDON #TALABIntegralEcology


For one representative, they emphasize the need for better communication of issues to the administration, as data is power. They also note the intersectionality of the e-jeep issue, calling to weigh all sides of an issue before action. | via @Tyler_TheGUIDON


This ends our coverage of "Ecofeminism Policy Workshop: Inclusive Group Dynamics." This event is made possible by the Sanggunian: Commission on Anti-Sexual Misconduct and Violence, and the Sangunnian: Commission on Socio-Political Development. | via @Tyler_TheGUIDON
