In a statement Wednesday, Bainon Karon, the chairperson of the Bangsamoro Women Commission (BWC), said women in the region now play major roles, including decision-making. "Let us sustain this, for without us contributing to the process and outcomes of any policy and decision-making, there can be no genuine autonomy," she said. On Tuesday, Karon joined the region's launch of religious rulings on women in line with this year's celebration of National Women's Month. "Let this day be a celebration of who we truly are - as active agents of peace and development," she said during her speech at the program's opening rites. D
