In support of the Bangsamoro Women Commission’s (BWC) crafting of gender-related policies, the Legislative Measures and Legal Assistance Division (LMLAD) of the Policy Research and Legal Services (PRLS) served as resource persons and mentors during the “Seminar-Workshop Translating Policy Research on Gender and Development (GAD) into Legislative Measures,” held in Iligan City on October 12–14, 2022.

The objective of the seminar-workshop is to convert the seven BWC policy research papers on strengthening GAD and Women and Peace Security (WPS) in BARMM, into stand-alone bills, additional provisions to the Bangsamoro GAD Code, resolutions, or non-legislative measures such as memorandum orders, policy guidelines, or executive orders. 

The said program was conducted by the BWC and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in collaboration with the PRLS.
