Dumaguete Media undergo tw-day Gender Sensitivity Training

Around 30 media members in Dumaguete attended the two-day Media Orientation-Writeshop on Reproductive Health & Sexuality Advocacy on April 25 & 26 conducted jointly by the Philippine Information Agency and the Philippine News Agency here.

The training is a follow-up activity on the Gender Sensitivity Training wherein PIA brought together selected members of the media circle in Dumaguete City as well as the Association of Negros Oriental Public Information Officers (ANOPIO).

The said activity is designed to develop the participants' individual communication skills in promoting the correct information on reproductive health and development.

According to Provincial Information Manager Jenny Catan-Tilos in her letter to the media, it has been noted that there is still a need to develop the communication skills of the tri-media reporters in reporting issues dealing with children's rights, violence against women, gender sensitivity and reproductive health.

Speakers during the two-day workshop are National Union of the Journalists in the Philippines President Inday Espina-Varona and Ma. Georgiana Villar of ISSA.
