History of UPLB GC

The UPLB Gender Center was created during the 1234th meeting of the Board of Regents held on 31 July 2008 at UP Manila. It merges the Gender Program for Rural Development, the Adolescents Reproductive Health Committee and the Office of Anti-Sexual Harassment to strengthen the strategic thrusts of the University as a proactive protector of gender-related human rights.
