GROUPIE Under the visionary leadership of City Mayor Ester E. Hamor, the City Government of Sorsogon rolled out an integrated and comprehensive program aimed at promoting gender equality, supporting persons with disabilities (PWDs), providing assistance to indigents, and improving the welfare of senior citizens. This initiative reflects the city’s commitment to ensuring that all marginalized groups receive the care, attention, and support they deserve.
Key Features
Gender Advocacy and Development: This program will prioritize gender advocacy and development, ensuring equal opportunities for both men and women across all sectors of society. The city government will promote awareness and foster policies that encourage gender equality, empowerment, and the protection of women’s rights, while actively combating gender-based violence and discrimination. Support for PWD’s: Recognizing the unique challenges faced by PWDs, the city will implement a series of targeted programs designed to enhance accessibility, mobility, and inclusion.
Through this initiative, the City Government will ensure that PWDs have access to necessary resources, services, and opportunities that empower them to live independently and actively participate in society. Assistance for Indigents: The program will also focus on supporting the city’s indigent population, offering much-needed assistance to those who are struggling financially.
By providing direct aid and resources, the city aims to reduce poverty and improve the living conditions of the most vulnerable members of the community. Monthly Cash Assistance for Senior Citizens: In a concerted effort to uplift the elderly, the City Government, under Mayor Hamor’s administration, will provide monthly cash assistance to senior citizens. This initiative aims to ease their financial burdens, allowing them to live with dignity and access healthcare, food, and other essential services.
This program is designed to be holistic, addressing the specific needs of each of these groups while promoting inclusivity and social justice. By supporting gender advocacy, prioritizing the needs of PWDs, providing assistance to indigents, and ensuring the well-being of senior citizens, Mayor Hamor is laying the groundwork for a more equitable and compassionate Sorsogon.
Through this initiative, the city will foster a culture of care and inclusivity, where every citizen, regardless of gender, age, or ability, has the opportunity to live a fulfilling and dignified life.
