Goodday!

I am Venz Viesca, Grade 11 Stem
Student fron Dingle National High School, Iloilo province in Region VI

IT WAS A NICE THING TO ATTEND IN HIS KIND OF EVENTS, WHERE I LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT HOW SAFE SPACES ACT IS IMPORTANT AND HELPFUL TO US in our COMMUNITY

Yesterday the "Claim Your Space: National Youth Summit 2026" happened, and it was a great event, it's a very informative talk!

The Safe Spaces Act highlights how gender-based harassment is not just an individual issue but a societal one, affecting people differently depending on their identity. For members of the LGBTQ community, it reinforces the importance of visibility, protection, and respect in public and online spaces where they are often more vulnerable to discrimination. It reminds me that creating truly safe environments requires active awareness, empathy, and accountability from everyone.
