SPARK! launches #BotoNiJuanaBotoNgBayan for greater women political participation

#BotoNiJuanaBotoNgBayan mainstreams the inclusion of the women’s agenda in all discussions about political participation, and it pushes for an increase in women elective candidates, women registered voters, and women who will really vote in the upcoming 2022 elections.

SPARK! Philippines, in partnership with the Czech Embassy Manila and Galing Pook, is launching #BotoNiJuanaBotoNgBayan, a monthly online plenary discussion that brings together various speakers, moderators, and audiences to tackle the contemporary issues in women’s political participation, representation, and leadership.

Running from June to August, this project aims to assembles community to share their knowledge and insights about the importance of women not only as voters but as active political players and decision-makers who promote nation-building and implement policies that address the intersectional issues of various girls and women—from the urban and rural poor women, indigenous peoples, differently-abled women, to women with diverse gender identities and sexual orientations.
