The University of Rizal System envisions a learning environment that is free of gender-based violence and promotes the self-determination and actualization of each individual.
Many efforts have been initiated and implemented to achieve Gender and Development (GAD) objectives, and it has been integrated into the university's development planning in all aspects of operations. GAD mainstreaming was introduced and trained for teachers, non-teaching staff, students, and other stakeholders or external clients. The university ensures the institutionalization of gender-related concerns and priorities by establishing and strengthening the GAD Focal Point System, which serves as the planners and implementers of GAD programs, projects, and activities. GAD at the university protects and promotes the well-being of women, children, senior citizens, and humanity to create a more equitable and better future for everyone.
Through this GAD Code, the University of Rizal System can ensure that the Magna Carta of Women (MCW), also known as RA 9710, and other GAD-related mandates and frameworks on gender equality and empowerment are translated and fulfilled on an institutional level. The MCW calls on various stakeholders to create and approve a GAD Code based on priority gender issues and concerns.
