Gender and Development (GAD) in the Philippines is anchored on constitutional equality and mandated by key laws like the Magna Carta of Women (RA 9710), which compels government agencies to mainstream gender perspectives and allocate at least 5% of their budget to GAD programs. Essential laws include the Safe Spaces Act (RA 11313), Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act (RA 9262), and 105-Day Expanded Maternity Leave Law (RA 11210). https://legalresource.ph/right-to-information-bill-of-rights-a3s7-1987-constitution/
