Newly hired CSU faculty, staff undergo Gender Sensitivity Training

Fifty-eight (58) teaching and administrative personnel of Caraga State University participated in a Gender Sensitivity Training on March 20-21, 2025, aiming to broaden their awareness about the rights, duties, and obligations of all genders and, in turn, promote equality.

CSU Gender and Development Office led the activity in line with the National Women’s Month celebration. It expounded on gender as a social construct, SOGIESC, legal mandates and policy imperatives on GAD, gender-fair language, manifestation of gender bias, and gender mainstreaming with Commission on Human Rights (CHR) Training Specialist Oliver Salino as the resource speaker.

For the newly hired personnel, the training serves as an initial step in understanding how gender influences societal responsibilities, development, and relationships and equips them with the knowledge to create a gender-inclusive and equitable academic community.  

Caraga State University fully recognizes the Gender and Development framework, which integrates gender equality into all aspects of development and ensures benefits for both women and men. The GST lays out these principles and exemplifies their integration into personnel roles, obligations, and rights. Importantly, CSU exemplifies its commitment to creating a workplace and learning environment that values and recognizes all genders equally. | via CSU-GAD/PICO
