COTABATO CITY — Women groups across the seven-province, three-city Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao are asking Members of Parliament to use the languages in the region through translation of the draft legislative measures and during public consultations.
MP and Deputy Speaker Omar Yasser Sema noted that the draft legislations are in English and this has been the normal procedure from national level to the regional and local legislative bodies. Knowing fully well how important communication is legislation, the Mindanao Organization for Social and Economic Progress, Inc. and The Asia Foundation worked together with the BWC.
“With the support from TAF, the main objective is to support the BWC communication plan that contains women’s rights, their political aspirations and participation, how BARMM operates and how they can support peace and development programs. They can also use this in their advocacy at the grassroots level,” Mariam Ali, MOSEP executive director, said.
Hadja Samaona Una of BWC-Lanao del Sur, said this program “gives awareness to our people in the grassroots level especially the former wives and family of former combatants and its communities.”
