College of Education celebrates women empowerment

By Catherine V. Adaniel


To brace women empowerment and gender equality across the country, the College of Education of Capiz State University Burias Campus took part in celebrating the National Women’s Month with the theme “We Make Change Work for Women” and the sub-theme “Agenda ng Kababaihan, Tungo sa Kaunlaran,” which generally highlighted the active contributions of women in the society as well as their power to make choices and to let their voices be heard.


The COE picked the afternoon time of March 30, 2022, to give tribute to female mentors, commemorate their achievements, and recognize all the things they have done and will continue to carry out for the development of the nation.


Dr. Ma. Venus B. Lozada, COE Dean, and Dr. Rodyard B. Madiclum gave opening remarks and words of appreciation, respectively. Male professors also expressed their messages to women, followed by viewing an inspirational video, and joining numerous games and Zumba activities.


“Celebrating Women’s Month is a chance to recognize women’s varied, and often under recognized, accomplishments throughout history. It is a great time to celebrate women who make a difference in our lives: perhaps a mom, grandmother, sister, or a teacher,” Prof. Joan Rae L. Lantoria, Gender and Development Co-Focal Person said.


“I want to encourage them and make them feel special and strong. Also, I want to encourage them to speak up and make sure that they know the value of their opinions so that they will never feel scared to use their voice,” she added. The entire celebration of 2022 National Women’s Month spanned from March 1-31. To signify the support of the university for the annual occasion, the Office of the Gender and Development initiated several activities for the whole, including Purple Tuesday, Musika ng Kababaihan, Zumba Dance, the opening of GAD Library Corner, EIC materials

making, and a film making contest.
