International Literacy Day

Since 1967, the annual celebrations of International Literacy Day (ILD) have taken place on 8 September around the world to remind policy-makers, practitioners, and the public of the critical importance of literacy for creating more literate, just, peaceful, and sustainable society.  The 2024 theme "Promoting multilingual education: Literacy for mutual understanding and peace".  

Literacy is a fundamental human right for all. It opens the door to the enjoyment of other human rights, greater freedoms, and global citizenship. It is also the foundation for people to acquire broader knowledge, skills, values, attitudes, and behaviours to foster a culture of lasting peace based on respect for equality and non-discrimination, the rule of law, solidarity, justice, diversity, and tolerance and to build harmonious relations with oneself, other people and the planet.

National Nutrition Month, or Buwan ng Nutrisyon, is observed in the Philippines every July in accordance with the Nutrition Act of the Philippines. The National Nutrition Council (NNC) organizes the event every year. It aims to raise awareness about the importance of good nutrition for Filipinos, especially children.

This event is a campaign to address various nutritional issues such as malnutrition, obesity, and micronutrient deficiencies. Ultimately, it seeks to improve public health, reduce nutrition-related diseases, and promote a healthier future for all, especially children.

Women's Month

The UBLRC joined to celebrate the 2024 National Women’s Month Celebration which aims to capitalize on the recurring theme “WE for gender equality and inclusive society,” introduced in 2023. This theme, launched to renew commitment to the advocacy, builds upon the accomplishments under the 2016-2022 theme, “WE Make CHANGE Work for Women.” The earlier theme stressed the importance of compassionate and harmonized networks towards gender equality and women’s empowerment (GEWE).
