Tomorrow, we officially open our seminar “ : Addressing VAWC and Gender-Based Violence in Educational Settings.”

This activity is organized in coordination with the Brent Colleges Guidance Office, as part of our commitment to strengthening awareness, prevention, and protection within our campus community.

Together, let us continue building a safer, more compassionate, and more empowered environment for every Juan and Juana. 🧡
A VAW-free Philippines starts with us.

Your presence and participation strengthen our collective stand against violence and affirm our commitment to promoting dignity, respect, and protection for women and girls.

Each step we take—whether through awareness, education, or active involvement—helps shape a community that refuses to tolerate abuse in any form.
Thank you for being part of the movement and for choosing to advocate with compassion and conviction.

🧡 Together, we help pave the path toward a VAWC-free Philippines.

Our advocacy is not just a yearly observance— it is an ongoing promise to protect, empower, uplift women and girls in every space we belong to.

This 2025, the national campaign emphasizes a whole-of-nation approach—uniting youth as changemakers, men as allies, bystanders as empowered responders, and leaders as champions for safer communities.
Every Juan and Juana has a role in challenging harmful norms, supporting survivors, and breaking the silence surrounding abuse.

May we continue to speak up, act with empathy, and work together to build a more just, inclusive, and violence-free Bagong Pilipinas. 🧡
When we unite, real change becomes possible.
