In a bid to enhance inclusivity and protection for the LGBTQIA+ community, the Muntinlupa City government is set to establish a Rainbow Desk that will focus on addressing the special concerns and needs of the LGBTQIA+ community.
“Our LGBTQIA+ community deserves protection and support. This initiative underscores our commitment to fostering inclusivity and equality across all levels and sectors,” said Mayor Ruffy Biazon.
The Rainbow Desk, to be established at the Gender and Development (GAD) Office in the city hall will implement comprehensive programs, projects, and activities to benefit the LGBTQIA+ community. These include policy formulation, data management, monitoring and evaluation, partnership establishment, and sustainable empowerment initiatives.
“The Rainbow Desk represents a significant step forward for our city, ensuring that every member of our community is valued and supported,” Biazon added..
Muntinlupa will celebrate Pride Month with various activities, including a health and wellness day, a seminar on sexual orientation and gender identity, and the LGBT Congress 2024.
