US President Donald Trump's repeal of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies and his stance on gender identity have prompted international reactions. In the Philippines, gender activists are calling for swift enactment of the Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, Expression or Sex Characteristics (SOGIESC) bill. They view Trump's actions as a setback for LGBTQIA+ rights and DEI efforts, urging the Philippines to strengthen its own fight for equality.
US President Donald Trump ’s wholesale repeal of Democrat-instituted diversity, equity and inclusivity policies, and his declaration that there are only male and female genders, has sent ripples across the globe and prompted gender activists in the Philippines to call for a hasty enactment of a “gender-equitable” bill.
Africa-Verceles, however, warned that such developments in the US should serve as a wake-up call for the Philippines. “Working people of diverse genders are your allies, not your enemy. Exploitative bureaucrat capitalists like Trump are the enemy,” said Bahaghari chairperson Reyna Valmores Salinas.
