3. DAHILAN O BATAYAN NG PROYEKTO (RATIONALE)
The Banahao Women's Association is a women-led organization located in Barangay Banahao, Lianga, Surigao
del Sur. The organization has 80 members, a diverse group of women from the "Kamayo," "Bisaya," and
"Lumad" communities, showcasing the richness of cultural backgrounds within the organization.
In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, a notable surge of early pregnancies was observed based on the data
gathered by the Barangay Health Worker (BHW). Some of these documented causes are (1) lack of
information on sexual and reproductive health and rights; (2) family problems; (3) sexual violence; (4) lack of
tailored fit support for the youth; and (5) influence on social media. As the pandemic has mellowed,
At present, as the pandemic has mellowed, Barangay Banahao is became a tourist attraction for its stunning
beaches and vibrant party. Late night parties occurs, and over night activities are held that mostly attracted
the youth. These parties and over night activities are most likely involving drinking and become opportunities
for sexual activities to occur. Even if the barangay has already imposed curfew hours but this is not effective
as overnight activities are not monitored properly. Hence The organization has discerned a correlation
between these social activities and the increasing incidence of early pregnancies, not only within Banahao
but also extending to the broader municipality of Lianga.
The organization plans to step in with awareness efforts and specific actions to encourage responsible
behavior and decrease early pregnancies in Banahao and Lianga.
Banahao Women Association looks into helping decrease the incidence of teen-age pregnancies through a
school-based approach advocacy, in particular with the R. Moreno Integrated School and with Beach Resort
1
owners in partnership with the barangay.
The school-based approach is seen as an effective mechanism to educate young individuals about the
detrimental effects of early sexual relationships and how it can impact their academic pursuits. This strategy
aligns with the organization's dedication to fostering a more informed and empowered youth, contributing to
a healthier and more resilient community. This will also foster a clear partnership with the Department of
Education.
The Beach resort owners advocacy sessions aims at having a session with the management and staff
emphasizing their role in preventing early pregnancies within the barangay and the municipality. Measure in
monitoring youth activities and also fostering a responsible and safe environment within their
establishments, promoting awareness campaigns on reproductive health, and collaborating with local
initiatives aimed at mitigating the factors leading to early pregnancies.
The goal is to build a collaborative partnership between the organization and resort owners, fostering a
shared commitment to the overall welfare of the community and ensuring that these recreational spaces
contribute positively to the prevention of early pregnancies.
Also, the organization is set to conduct advocacy sessions with the barangay barangay, enlightening them
about their role as peacekeeper and the role of the implementation of curfew policy in the barangay.
Certainly, with these efforts, there is a hopeful prospect of curbing the rise in early pregnancies within both
the barangay and municipality of Lianga.
Before initiating the advocacy campaign, the women's organization will first undergo a comprehensive
trainers' training program. This preparatory phase aims to equip members with the necessary knowledge,
skills, and tools essential for effective advocacy. The goal is to ensure that the organization is well-prepared
and capable of delivering impactful messages and interventions during the advocacy campaign.
The organization has taken the initial steps by collaborating with the Department of Education and the newly
appointed barangay administration officials to discuss and elaborate on the organization's plans. This
engagement served the dual purpose of garnering support and soliciting recommendations and suggestions
for the upcoming initiatives. In the subsequent phases, the organization is poised to extend its collaboration
to beach resort owners in the barangay, Municipal Health Office, Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction
Management office and Municipal Social Welfare Development Office.
