SiGAw is an organization serving Filipinas in the Los Angeles community. We strive to build a strong Filipina women’s mass movement, recognizing that the problems of the Filipina diaspora are linked to the root problems of the Philippines. SiGAw addresses the rights and welfare of women through education, organizing, campaigns, and cultural work. SiGAw is a member organization of GABRIELA-USA and BAYAN-USA.
Diwang Pinay (Spirit of the Filipina) is an annual performance in Los Angeles featuring Filipina/Filipina-American writers, performers, and artists. This event, hosted by SiGAw, is one of the very few venues for Filipinas and Filipina-Americans to showcase their talents and highlight their stories and struggles. This year’s production is also in honor of the 100th Anniversary of International Women’s Day–so let’s celebrate and continue this wonderful work! YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS!
Diwang Pinay 2010!
This year’s theme and celebration is a tribute to the struggles of working class and migrant Filipinas/Filipina-Americans of the Los Angeles area. Featuring the narratives of Filipinas who have touched our lives and shared our struggles, Pasanin Mo Pasanin Ko: Bridging the Struggle of Filipinas, will highlight issues of immigration/migration, family, and the hardships and expectations of Filipinas and Filipina-Americans.
