Let us stand together in advocating for respect, dignity, and equality. By working hand in hand, we can help create a safer and more compassionate society for all women.
Nobyembre 25 - National Consciousness Day for the Elimination of VAWC
Ngayong araw, ipinagdiriwang natin ang National Consciousness Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC). Sa pangunguna ng Medical Social Service Unit at Public Health Unit ng Ospital ng Maynila Medical Center, sama-sama nating bigyang-pansin ang isyung ito.
Ang VAWC ay tumutukoy sa anumang akto ng karahasan na nagaganap sa pagitan ng mga babae at mga bata. Kabilang dito ang pisikal, sekswal, sikolohikal, at ekonomikal na pang-aabuso.
Ano ang dapat gawin?
Alamin ang iyong karapatan: Magkaroon ng kaalaman tungkol sa mga batas na nagpoprotekta sa mga biktima ng VAWC.
Humingi ng tulong: Huwag matakot na humingi ng tulong sa mga awtoridad, tulad ng pulisya o sa mga organisasyon na nagbibigay ng suporta sa mga biktima.
Maging bahagi ng solusyon: Ipaglaban ang karapatan ng bawat isa at itigil ang lahat ng uri ng karahasan.
Tandaan, ang paglaban sa VAWC ay responsibilidad nating lahat. Sama-sama nating itaguyod ang isang ligtas at mapayapang komunidad para sa lahat.
