Gender & Development

“𝑺𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑽𝒊𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆. 𝑨𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒚 𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔.”

The 𝙂𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘿𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 (𝙂𝘼𝘿) seminar was successfully conducted last 𝙉𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 22, 2025, at the 𝘾𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝘽𝙧𝙜𝙮. 𝙋𝙞𝙜𝙙𝙖𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙣, 𝘽𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙣 𝘾𝙞𝙩𝙮. This activity aimed to raise awareness on 𝙑𝙞𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝘼𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩 𝙒𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣 (𝙑𝘼𝙒𝘾) and strengthen the community’s role in promoting safe, empowered, and violence-free households. The seminar opened with a brief introduction to Gender and Development (GAD), highlighting the importance of gender equality, protection of human rights, and building safe communities for all.

Our first speaker, 𝙈𝙖'𝙖𝙢 𝙊𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙢 𝙆. 𝙈𝙖𝙜𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙚,𝙋𝙝𝘿, provided an insightful discussion on Republic Act 9262 or the Anti-VAWC Law, explaining what VAWC is, its forms, and why understanding this law is vital for every household and community. Our second speaker, 𝙈𝙖𝙮𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝘿. 𝙂𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙤, tackled the penalties under RA 9262 and emphasized the critical role of barangays as the frontliners in responding to VAWC cases—ensuring protection, immediate action, and proper referral for victims and survivors.

Through this seminar, we continue our commitment to breaking the cycle of VAWC and empowering families to build safer and more inclusive communities.

Organized by 3RD YEAR AB SOCIOLOGY STUDENTS, SECTION N1, in partnership with the Local Government of Brgy. Pigdaulan. Special thanks to our participants and speakers for making this seminar and advocacy possible.
