The Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) through its Gender and Development Office (GAD) initiated a film viewing and seminar centered on the vital role of men in supporting women for selected male university officials led by GAD MOVE KaTROPA (Men Opposed to Violence Everywhere - Kalalakihang Tapat at Responsable sa Pamilya) on 25 March, at the Student and Alumni Center Amphitheater.

Carrying the theme โ€œMen as Partners in Supporting Women,โ€ the activity formed part of the universityโ€™s observance of National Womenโ€™s Month, transforming the venue into a space for reflection, dialogue, and renewed commitment to gender equality. Faculty members and employees participated in the event, engaging in conversations that underscored respect, shared responsibility, and inclusivity.

The event was used as a springboard for deeper reflection on how our daily actions and our attitudes contribute to either perpetuating or dismantling gender bias. This was then followed by a seminar where positive masculinity was emphasized, with a focus on how men played an integral part not only as allies but also as advocates against gender-based discrimination and violence.

The organizers of the activity emphasized how this activity was also meant to enhance cooperation within the university community, with both men and women working hand-in-hand to ensure a safer academic environment. This activity was also meant to reinforce Gender and Development (GAD) principles and was in line with TAUโ€™s ongoing initiatives to raise awareness and consciousness within its community.

In a message, MOVE-KATROPA President Dr. Angelo P. Guillermo, emphasized the importance of collective action, saying, โ€œPanahon na para baguhin ang pananaw na ang pagiging haligi ay hindi lamang pagbibigay ng pananalapi. Layunin namin sa Move Katropa na hubugin ang ating mga kawaning kalalakihan na mas maging sensitibo at mapagmahal na mga magulang. Sa pamamagitan ng film viewing at talakayang ito, binigyan natin ang ating mga kapwa empleyadong kalalakihan ng pagkakataong magmuni-muni kung paano sila magiging mas mabuting โ€œkatropaโ€ sa loob ng kanilang sariling mga tahanan.โ€

Through initiatives like this, TAU continues to move beyond awareness toward action, empowering its stakeholders to become active partners in building a more inclusive and equitable future.
