Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
Advocacy projects of DLSU-D underpin the awareness and call for action on important socio-political issues, such as good governance, accountability, justice, and human rights. As an academic institution, these areas are seen as crucial points in which social transformation can be achieved and strong institutions can be built on. Thus, a multi-sectoral committee called STAR (Social Transformation for Advocacy and Reform) is formed to ensure equal opportunities for all sectors to actively participate in advocacy activities.
As part of De La Salle Philippines, DLSU-D actively responds and works closely with the Lasallian Justice and Peace Commission (LJPC) in bringing to the fore important socio-political issues and to call for collective action to seeks to eliminate any form of injustice in the society.
