KAWSA PHILIPPINES: CLAIM YOUR SPACE

One of the things that made this experience enjoyable to me was that I got to know more about the aspects of sex, gender, and gender identity. The exposure made me appreciate these topics more, and I now see the world of expressions and identities of various individuals.

As a student leader, I have appreciated the importance of laws such as the Safe Spaces Act which guarantees protection against harassment and discrimination on account of one's sexual preferences and expression. This exposure made me more appreciative of other individuals' identities, and I now see the importance of treating all people with due respect.

Overall, this experience made me gain some knowledge and be more tolerant towards other people despite their differences.
