The Philippines context is not an easy contextfor gender equality and women empowerment,for the time being, so we try to dialoguewith different stakeholders, civil societyand universities, that arequite vocal and can still advance gender equality andwomen empowerment in the country.We also dialogue with the government agencyin charge of gender equality and women empowerment.There are different ways to perform policydialogue, exchanging information, harmonisingand complementing our efforts altogether,together with the member states as well.In the Philippines, we have two big programmesfostering and advancing gender equality and women empowerment.It's the "Safe and Fair" programme fundedby the EU and implemented by UN Women and ILOfor female migrant workers so that theirjourney is safe to the new country but alsowhen they come back to the Philippines.The other programme "WeEmpower" is the womeneconomic empowerment programme implementedby UN Women that just started.I worked together with the political and information section in the Delegationto develop last March 8, so for the Women's Day.We organised an event in a University on harassment in universities,and it was very interesting to see how students,teachers, and the Delegation could debateon this important topic,in the Philippines in particular.Another point indeed it's also the way I initiatedthe importance of gender mainstreaming inthe Delegation for programmes, with my colleagues,and I'm very happy with the partnership I havewith my colleagues in the Delegation for ensuringgender mainstreaming in all our interventions.
