As an attempt to educate those in educational institutions about gender-related issues, the National Youth Commission (NYC) endorsed Project GEIS (Gender Equality Index in Schools): Rainbow Toolkit, which was developed by the Philippine Anti-Discrimination Alliance of Youth Leaders (PANTAY) Inc.
The toolkit is said to aim to “aid schools and organizations in determining areas for improvement that they need to address, as well as a scorecard to be praised for their ability to implement gender-responsive reforms in achieving gender-sensitive environment”.
Included in the toolkit are suggested modules that can be utilized to guide the formulation and implementation of SOGIESC-inclusive trainings, seminars, and capacity-building programs.
“The NYC believes we must foster a safe environment for everyone, regardless of differences, where they are treated with dignity and fairness. The commission embraces diversity and hopes to empower everyone to live out their authentic selves. Together, we can evolve and rise above all challenges with strength, courage, and love,” NYC stated.
