The Commission convened the 2nd Bangsamoro Gender and Development Committee (BGADC) Meeting, bringing together representatives from various Bangsamoro Ministries, Offices, and Agencies (BMOAs) to strengthen inter-agency collaboration in advancing gender equality, women's empowerment, and gender-responsive governance across the Bangsamoro region.

The meeting focused on preparations for the upcoming 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women (VAW), including the proposed activities and commitments of participating BMOAs. Discussions also covered the intersection of Climate, Peace and Security, particularly the impact of the El Niño phenomenon on women and children and the corresponding Gender and Development (GAD) interventions.

Other key agenda items included the GADSaligan Award, proposed to be presented during the campaign's culmination, and the Women's Advisory Council (WAC) Convening.

The meeting underscored the importance of sustained institutional commitment, strengthened coordination, and collective action in translating gender-responsive policies and programs into meaningful interventions that protect and empower Bangsamoro women and children.

Through continued collaboration, the BWC reaffirms its commitment to fostering a more inclusive, safe, and gender-responsive Bangsamoro.
