Our Commitment to Equality and Inclusion,
Our Commitment to Equality and Inclusion,
In the Philippines, the fight for LGBTQI rights is a continuing struggle for recognition, dignity, and equality. Despite growing visibility, many queer Filipinos still face barriers to safety, representation, and access to opportunities. Balangaw.ph stands in solidarity with advocates, organizations, and communities working to break these barriers and create a society where everyone can live freely and authentically. Through storytelling and accessible information, we aim to challenge discrimination, foster understanding, and strengthen the movement for equal rights. Each story shared here is part of a larger call — to listen, to learn, and to take action for a future where love and identity are never reasons for exclusion.
