    VAWC: WHAT IS IT ABOUT

    Women and children, they are deserving of information, protection, and justice.
    Conflict may be a fact of life, but the protection of the weak must be guaranteed.
    Awareness can help to reinforce this. This struggle is now being fought in the shadows
    since there is a dearth of information on sexual assault in conflict. In order to protect
    society's most vulnerable members from such dangers, civic society must come to
    recognize the prevalence, seriousness, and repercussions of sexual assault in war.
    According to the United Nations, violence against women is any act that disturbs
    and violates women, causing them to suffer physically, emotionally, psychologically, and
    mentally. According to the Philippine Commission of Women, it is associated with the
    uneven power relationships between men and women as a result of society's incorrect
    perceptions about gender and sexuality.
    According to the preliminary results of the 2017 National Demographic and Health
    Survey (NDHS), one in four (15%) women who have ever been married and are
    between the ages of 15 and 49 have ever been the victims of physical, sexual, or
    emotional abuse by their husband or partner. 20 percent of women report having ever
    been the victims of emotional abuse, 14 percent of physical abuse, and 5 percent of
    sexual abuse by their present or former husband or boyfriend.

    Women should have the information and abilities necessary to protect ourselves,
    whether it is through self-defense, evacuation strategies, or negotiation tactics. The
    possibilities are endless. By strengthening the weak, you can diminish the need for the
    strong to defend them. Knowledge is a tremendous instrument.
    In the Philippines, violence against women is on the rise, peaking in 2013. With
    these, it is crucial that incidences of violence against women be researched and
    examined in order to stop it from happening and raise national awareness through the
    media of domestic violence, gender equality, and respect for women. Lastly, Women, or
    people of any gender for that matter, should actively call for the prosecution of such
    offenders. Punishment is an effective deterrent and holds a huge potential of gradually
    reducing incidences of abuse and gives the victims the redemption and justice they
    deserve. Also, we should not stop at criminalizing offenders. There is a need for a
    human rights-based approach towards the treatment of victims of sexual violence. Our
    efforts should also focus on the psychological recovery of victims and their seamless
    reintegration into society.
