Join Us in the 2025 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women and Children!

From November 25 to December 12, let’s unite to create a future where everyone—especially our youth and children—can grow up in safe, gender-equitable environments. With its recurring theme for 2022–2027, “UNiTEd for a VAW-free Philippines,” this year's campaign focuses on advancing a whole-of-nation approach— mobilizing diverse voices and key players, including youth as changemakers, men as proactive allies, bystanders as empowered responders, and local leaders as catalysts for policy-driven transformation, in a shared commitment to fully eliminate gender-based violence, empower survivors, and promote justice.

Children and youth are the hope and future of our nation—yet, they are often the most impacted by violence and discrimination. This campaign is for all sectors—families, schools, communities, and institutions—to raise awareness, call for inclusive spaces, and nurture a culture of respect and safety for children and young people.

Join us in spreading awareness, advocating for change, and empowering our youth to be allies in building a more just, safe, and gender-sensitive Philippines. Together, we can ensure a world where children thrive free from violence and inequality.

Here is the schedule of activities for SSU's 18-day VAWC Campaign:

November 25, 2025 – PARADE
November 26, 2025-Educating Children Through Storytelling
November 28, 2025 - GST Training & Seminar on RA 9262
December 4, 2025 - SAYAWIT & PAINTING
December 12, 2025- Awarding and Culminating Program

In promoting violence-free and thriving society, let us all be one with SAGWAN!
