The Department of Science and Technology – Technology Application and Promotion Institute (DOST-TAPI) has remained a steadfast advocate for gender equality throughout the year 2024, promoting policies and activities that empower women and integrate gender mainstreaming across its programs.
Here are the standout activities that have strengthened the institute’s commitment to promoting gender-responsive innovation:
1. Advocating Social Corporate Responsibility through Charity at Mary Mother of Mercy Home
The DOST-TAPI jumpstarted the year 2024 turning its commitments towards Social Corporate Responsibility as the institute’s Gender and Development (GAD) Unit in partnership with the institute’s Legal Unit (LU) continued its tradition of giving back through an annual charity event at the Mary Mother of Mercy Home for the Elderly and Abandoned Foundation in San Pedro, Laguna last January 9, 2024. This initiative provides much-needed support to abandoned elderly individuals who can no longer care for themselves. The Legal Unit delivered essential food and home supplies, including rice, vinegar, detergent, and more, ensuring the residents' daily needs were met. The initiative highlighted DOST-TAPI’s dedication to social responsibility and its role in helping the most vulnerable members of society.
