This UP Pride 2019, we carry on with our fight for equality.
With the theme “Embracing Diversity Towards Equality,” UP Pride 2019 aims to push forward the formulation and adoption of the UP SOGIESC Policy, a university system-wide policy on equality and non-discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics (SOGIESC). While there remains no national legislation recognizing and protecting the rights of persons with diverse SOGIESC, in UP, the time for equality is now.
Join the entire UP community in the official UP Pride 2019 events on September 10-13, 2019:
Exhibit Launch | September 10, 11:30AM | AS Lobby
SOGIESC Workshop | September 11, 5PM | Economics Auditorium
UP SOGIESC Policy Forum | September 12, 4PM | Statistics Auditorium
Free HIV Screening | September 13, 9AM-4PM | AS Parking Lot
Pride March | September 13, 4PM | Quezon Hall
Pride Night: PRIDEday the 13th | September 13, 5PM | Melchor Hall Steps
All UP Pride 2019 events are open to all. We invite everyone to join us in fighting for equality, starting in our university, because the fight for gender justice and human rights will not be over as long as discrimination and violence against the LGBTQI community persist and equality remains elusive.
Let our diversity unite us for the greater fight for equality and human rights.
