The Philippine Commission on Women launched a standardized Training Guide for the Gender Sensitivity Seminar (GSS) for Perpetrators of the Safe Spaces Act (SSA) during the country’s first-ever CODI Summit on August 13, 2026, marking a significant milestone six years after the pioneering GSS session conducted at the Pasig City Jail in March 2020.

The Training Guide provides trainers with a structured, gender-responsive approach to delivering GSS as a rehabilitative intervention for first-time offenders of gender-based sexual harassment in public spaces under Republic Act No. 11313, or SSA, who are ordered by the courts to undergo the seminar as part of their community service

The module consists of three sessions focusing on gender norms and gender-based violence; empathy and healthy relationships; and personal accountability. Rather than treating the seminar as a compliance requirement, the Guide is designed to facilitate reflection, challenge harmful gender norms and attitudes, and encourage participants to take responsibility for their behavior.

The launch comes amid a steady increase in court-ordered referrals for GSS received by PCW, underscoring the growing need for a consistent and gender-responsive approach to the intervention.

In her message of support, PCW Executive Director Nharleen L. Santos-Millar emphasized that the Guide seeks to move the intervention beyond mere compliance toward meaningful reflection and behavioral change.

“It is a product of practice, reflection, pilot-testing, feedback, revision, and collaboration. It carries with it the experiences of the people who helped test it, facilitate it, critique it, and improve it.”

Beginning in 2027, PCW plans to roll out the module to local government units and Philippine National Police offices nationwide. The rollout will also support the development of a pool of trainers equipped to facilitate meaningful conversations on gender, accountability, empathy, and behavioral change among offenders.

A digital copy of the Training Guide for GSS for Perpetrators of the SSA will soon be made available through the PCW Digital GAD Library. As co-chair of the Inter-Agency Oversight Committee on the Safe Spaces Act, PCW continues to work with partner agencies to strengthen the implementation of the law and promote coordinated and gender-responsive interventions.

This Su***de Prevention Month, Partido State University (ParSU) joins the call to remind everyone that checking in, listening without judgment, and reaching out can make a difference.

For some, it can mean offering support or simply being present when someone needs it. Sometimes, it all begins with a simple "Kumusta ka?" because in a community that looks out for one another, even difficult conversations matter.

Be kind. Be present. Take a moment to check in on someone today.

Ngayong araw, Agosto 14, ating ginugunita ang paglagda sa makasaysayang Republic Act No. 9710 o ang Magna Carta of Women. Ang batas na ito ang komprehensibong batas sa ating bansa na kumikilala, nagtatanggol, at nagtataguyod ng mga karapatan ng kababaihan.

Ito rin ang lokal na pagsasabatas ng mga probisyon ng Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), partikular sa pagbibigay-kahulugan sa gender discrimination, state obligations, substantive equality, at temporary special measures.

Maging ang paggamit ng salitang “of” sa pangalan nito ay kinikilala ang women's participation and ownership of the bill.

Labing-pitong taon ng pagsusulong ng karapatang pantao ng bawat kababaihang Pilipino. Sama-sama tayo para sa mas maunlad, mas ligtas, mas malaya, at mas inklusibong Pilipinas. 💜
