As the sun rose over Iloilo City, hundreds of participants gathered not only to promote health and wellness but also to show their collective support for a society free from violence against women and children. The event highlighted the important role that men play as partners, advocates, and champions in building safer homes, workplaces, and communities.
More than just a fun run, the MOVE as ONE Fun Run served as a powerful platform to raise awareness about gender-based violence and encourage positive action through unity, respect, and shared responsibility. Participants of all ages filled the route with energy, enthusiasm, and a common commitment to promoting dignity and equality for all.
The event showcased the spirit of solidarity as runners crossed the finish line with a deeper understanding of the advocacy behind the movement. Families, friends, and organizations came together to demonstrate that meaningful change begins when communities stand as one against violence.
DOLE extends its heartfelt gratitude to all participants, partners, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters who helped make the MOVE as ONE Fun Run a meaningful and successful event. Your presence and support strengthened the message that ending violence is a responsibility shared by everyone.
As the event concludes, the advocacy continues. May today’s run inspire more individuals to become active voices for respect, equality, and non-violence in every community.
Together, we move as one. Together, we create change.
