The SIGLAT PRIDE program offered a vital platform for education, advocacy, and community-building centered on LGBTQ issues. An important insight gained is the critical role that knowledge and awareness play in dismantling stigma, whether related to HIV, gender identity, or mental health. The program underscored the importance of safe spaces where individuals feel empowered to share their stories, as seen in the personal narratives shared during the sessions. These stories not only humanized complex issues but also highlighted the resilience and diversity within the community. Overall, SIGLAT PRIDE illuminated the power of education, empathy, and collective action in advancing the rights and well-being of the LGBTQ community.
