Benilde students joined a campus orientation on the Safe Spaces Act, led by Gender and Development (GAD) Specialist Nicole Trisha Panganiban. Held on July 28, 2025, at the Augusto-Rosario Gonzalez Theater, the session was part of the Student Services Assembly and focused on how the law protects people from sexual harassment in schools, workplaces, and online.
The session opened with a short quiz to check students’ knowledge of the law. Panganiban then walked through the key points of Republic Act 11313, also known as the Safe Spaces Act, including examples of gender-based sexual harassment in public areas, classrooms, and digital spaces. She explained how students can report incidents, what support systems are in place, and how Benilde’s policies align with national law.
