ESR5: Jeany Rose P. Teguihanon

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Social Work degree from the University of the Philippines-Diliman in 2009 and a Master of Arts in Advanced Development in Social Work (ADVANCES) under the Erasmus Mundus Program in 2017. I worked extensively with communities through local and international non-government organisations and national government agencies in promoting and protecting the rights of Filipino women, girls, boys and men. My fields of interest include gender and migration, gender equality and gender-based violence, capacity building through formal and informal education methods, community organising and social activism, the NGO and GO sectors and their role in social protection and gender equality, the challenges and practices in social work focusing on social inclusion and integration, and the empowerment and engagement of individuals and groups at risk of exclusion.
