Greetings in the name of St. Thomas Aquinas!

UST Hiraya is the first university-wide Intersectional Feminist organization recognized by the University
of Santo Tomas. We advocate Intersectional Feminism, Mental Health Awareness, Anti-Violence Against
Women, and Gender Equity, and also provide a safe space for students in the university. We promote
progressive values and raise awareness on relevant issues through events, activities and fora.

As the first organization in our university that represents the women of the Thomasian community,
we would like to humbly ask for your organization’s support by establishing a partnership with
your good office in our series of events to celebrate Women's Week on March 5-8, 2018, namely:

publicity materials and certificates.

Kindly confirm your participation on or before Saturday, February 24, 2018 at 6PM. Upon
confirmation, kindly e-mail us your organization’s logo so we may include it on our publicity materials
to be launched on Sunday, February 25, 2018 at 8PM.

Should you wish to confirm or have concerns and queries, contact us through our partnership coordinator,
