TRANSCO SLOM BREAKS IN BARANGAY GENDER BIASES

"Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies...Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate." Proverbs 31:10, 31.
Fresh from the recently held Gender and Development (GAD) trainer’s training in Bagac, Bataan, the SLOM budding trainers conducted a basic Gender Sensitivity Training (GST) among rural women of Barangay Haligue Silangan, Batangas City last March 11-14, 2008.
The GST inspired the 31 rural women and served as their driving force as they learn and participate in the two-day livelihood training on making Dehydrated Fruits/Vegetables and Can-dies sponsored by TransCo SLOM and in partnership with Nego-Skwela.
This type of training was specifically requested by the members of Kapit-Bisig Women’s Organization (KWO) that was immediately responded by TransCo SLOM Corp. Communication Group (CCG). Having this purpose, CCG coordinated with Ba-tangas DSWD for endorsement of KWO to support the organization with financial assistance in putting up a sustainable small-scale business enterprise after the training.
TransCo believes that when people are enlightened and became open, what was once unimaginable suddenly becomes possible. This is the power of learning and information awareness - what people do not know deprives them access to power. People move when they know what to do with someone teaching them the right way to do and where to go through. (Anna Kathrina Nava)
