Social inclusion refers to the process of ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances, have equal access to opportunities, resources, and participation in society. Timpuyog Organization emphasizes creating a more equitable and inclusive society where everyone, especially marginalized or disadvantaged groups, can engage in economic, social, and cultural activities without facing discrimination or exclusion.

Social inclusion focuses on removing barriers that prevent people from fully participating in society, whether due to factors like:

• Disability: Making sure individuals with disabilities have the same access to education, work, and public services.
• Poverty: Addressing economic disparities that limit people’s access to basic needs like healthcare, housing, and education.
• Ethnicity and Race: Ensuring that racial or ethnic minorities face no discrimination in employment, housing, or social integration.
• Gender: Supporting gender equality by tackling gender-based discrimination, including in the workplace and in leadership roles.
• Age: Valuing individuals across all age groups and ensuring that both the young and elderly have access to services and opportunities.
• LGBTQ+ Rights: Fighting for the rights and acceptance of people based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Promoting social inclusion often requires policy changes, community engagement, and actions that encourage diversity, respect, and equity. It aims not only to reduce social inequalities but also to foster a sense of belonging and solidarity among all members of community.
