MAGNA CARTA FOR WOMEN NARRATIVE
I. SITUATION OVERVIEW
On December 28, 2023, Barangay Ruparan hosted a significant seminar focused
on the Magna Carta for Women, led by Mrs. Grace G. Maximales, a respected
Registered Social Worker (RSW). The event aimed to educate the local community
about the rights and protections afforded to women under Philippine law, and to foster
a more inclusive and equitable environment within the barangay.
The seminar began promptly at 9:00 AM at the Barangay Hall, with an
impressive turnout of over 70 participants, including local women leaders, barangay
officials, and community members. The opening session started with an invocation,
followed by a welcome address from Barangay Captain Raul Villanueva, who highlighted
the importance of understanding and advocating for women's rights in fostering
community development.
