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.
In commemoration of the International Day to Eliminate Violence Against Women (IDEVAW), on November 25th, this month’s Pinay Stories will be focused on issues of violence against women.
Pinay Stories is a safe space for honest self-reflection and dialogue about issues affecting us and our communities. We come together in dialogue to support each other and become powerful advocates for economic, political, social, racial and gender justice. This discussion group is Pinay focused and is open to women and gender non-conforming persons. Come hungry & support the café (larosecafehollywood.com – like them on Yelp!). Street parking only (please do not park in the Wendy’s lot).
