Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) Parliament Deputy Speaker Atty. Laisa Masuhud Alamia is currently a panelist at the Philippine Conference on Women, Peace, and Security scheduled for October 28 to 30 in Manila. She will feature in the special session on the legislative track titled: "Legislating Peace, Strategic Roundtable and Multi-Sectoral Fireside Dialogue: A Convergence of Lawmakers, Feminist Peacebuilders, and Grassroots Voices for a Transformative WPS Agenda."
DS Alamia's involvement as a key figure in the Bangsamoro Parliament and a human rights advocate is considered instrumental in shaping the conference's agenda and outcomes, reinforcing the theme of "Empowering Local Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Champions as Agents in Socioeconomic Transformation.โ
The conference is a collaborative effort led by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), together with the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity (OPAPRU), and the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW). OPAPRU chairs the National Steering Committee on Women, Peace and Security (NSCWPS) and serves as the lead agency for peacebuilding and normalization programs, while the PCW serves as the Vice Chair of the NSCWPS and the national gender machinery. The event also benefits from the support of peace and development partners, specifically the UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) Philippines and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) Philippines.
