00:00Just this October 11, the International Day of the Girl Child was held.

00:05It is an important day that protects the rights of girls.

00:09This year's theme is Girls' Vision for the Future.

00:13And this year, there are activities prepared by the Humanitarian Development Organization,

00:17Plan International Pilipinas for the whole month of October.

00:22To discuss their program, we will be joined by Rennie Martin,

00:27the Safeguarding and Fisheye Specialist of Plan International Pilipinas,

00:31and Ariel Frago, their Portfolio Manager for Inclusive Quality Education and Youth Economic Empowerment.

00:38Good morning and welcome to Rise and Shine Pilipinas.

00:41Good morning, Rennie and Ariel. Thank you for joining us today.

00:45Please introduce to us the organization, Plan International Pilipinas.

00:50What is the main purpose of this organization?

00:53Plan International Pilipinas is a development and humanitarian organization.

00:58Since 1961, we have been promoting the rights of girls, especially girls,

01:05because we know that there are inequalities and we are really promoting their rights for equality.

01:12They will have access to protection, health, and even higher quality of life.

01:23This October 11, the month of celebration of IDG, or International Day of the Girl, has started.

01:31Why is it important that this is held? And how is this promoted by your organization, Ariel?

01:39IDG is a yearly event.

01:42We give this to girls, especially to girls, to amplify their voices.

01:49To say that we are here, the children, and you need to hear us.

01:55This is also the time that Plan International presents our annual research, the State of the World Girls' Report.

02:04This year, it focuses on women and girls in conflict and crisis.

02:13Okay, talking about the State of the World Girls' Report,

02:16what are the salient needs of women, especially girls?

02:28We interviewed 10,000 girls all around the world.

02:33In the Philippines, we interviewed more than 1,000 in the south of the Philippines.

02:40The first thing that came out was that they are missing out on formal education.

02:46They said that their education is being cut off.

02:49Second, their mental health and psychosocial health.

02:53It has a big effect, especially on girls, the trauma, etc.

02:57Because of the crisis, if there is a conflict.

03:00And third, they want to tell the whole world to join us in their planning.

03:07Listen to us because we are here and we want to be a part of the design of your program.

03:14It's not a coincidence that there are conflict areas.

03:18Of course, there are women, children, and girls in conflict and crisis networks.

03:26You launched this in Maguindanao, Visayas, and also in Tacloban.

03:31Can you tell us more about this?

03:34This network was created to strengthen the campaign and involve the children.

03:43There are also men, of course.

03:45But of course, the network helps to promote the rights of the children.

03:52So, one cannot afford it.

03:54So, it's good that the children in the different areas where the planning takes place,

03:58can be formed to have a stronger voice.

04:03Their voices can be amplified and reach the people.

04:06What are the issues they are facing in conflict and crisis?

04:11Okay. You also mentioned the participation of men and boys.

04:16How can they help in this advocacy?

04:20Actually, we are following what we call the Feminist Leadership Principle.

04:26Working with men, boys, and young men.

04:31We can see the positive masculinity.

04:34It's very important that they are together.

04:37Let's admit that there are more perpetrators of violence than men.

04:42At an early age, they can be educated that women are human rights.

04:47Women's rights are human rights and we need to include them in this program.

04:55You mentioned that it's good that you mentioned the Feminist Leadership Principle.

04:59Because we have a notion when you say Feminist Leadership Principle.

05:02It should be ahead or higher.

05:07The same goes for the adults.

05:10How can the youth benefit from the programs you are hosting?

05:17This month of October, like the Youth Camp in Laguna.

05:21The Youth Camp in Laguna that will take place this October 25-27.

05:26There are 200 youth advocates who will be trained on disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.

05:35The theme of our IDG this year is conflict and crisis.

05:41Because they are the most affected when there is conflict and crisis.

05:45They are also at the center.

05:47We are also working with partner organizations to help us.

05:52To help the youth to be equipped.

05:56To have enough knowledge on how to do disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.

06:02And to increase their resilience.

06:05If I just mention, the youth are really affected.

06:09The women, the conflict areas.

06:12I mean, can we imagine the difficult access in the background.

06:17Sanitation, hygiene.

06:19These programs are good to partner with.

06:23Just like what was mentioned earlier.

06:25Education is important because it will be cut off.

06:28If there is a crisis in the area, especially their mental health, it will be affected.

06:33Alright, please do invite our guests, our viewers rather, to support your advocacy.

06:40And to participate in your activities this month of October.

06:46So, we are inviting, even if you are not part of our activities,

06:51but we are really voicing out the rights of the youth, especially the women.

06:57We hope that you will also be a part of it.

06:59So that we can help to have equal rights for women and boys.

07:05And for men and women.

07:08We have activities and this will happen.

07:12Maybe, you can also go to the Plan International website to see more.

07:19Alright, how about you Sir Ariel? Do you have any message?

07:23The fight of women, especially girls, is the fight of the whole country.

07:29So, we need to strengthen their voices.

07:33Women's right is a human right.

07:36So, it is very important that we help each other.

07:40Thank you very much.

07:42Thank you once again for Rennie and Aria for sharing initiatives with us

07:47this International Day of the Girls.

07:50We hope that these programs will serve as an inspiration for equal rights for girls.

07:57Thank you very much.
