I am Vernie Yocogan-Diano, an Indigenous woman human rights defender and activist for the last three decades in my home region, Cordillera, at the national level in the Philippines and in the Asia-Pacific region.
My experience on women leading research is integrated with my leading, igniting, organising and mobilising work. My experience on FPAR became more systematised in APWLD as a mentor and a trainer-facilitator in 2012. My love for FPAR was sustained over the years I served as trainer-facilitator to Asia Pacific Forum on Women, Law, and Development (APWLD) partners in its programs.
Note - Vernie's most recent March 2024 APWLD FPAR training was in Lampung, Indonesia on Food Sovereignty. Vernie has also been the executive director of Cordillera Women’s Education Action Research Center,
