The Commission on Human Rights and the Philippine Commission on Women urge everyone to be vigilant and to report any form of abuse in their community.

Abuse comes in many forms such as physical, verbal, emotional, etc. No woman deserves to be at the receiving end of any act of abuse.

No one should suffer alone. If you or someone you know is suffering from any form of abuse or if you are aware of incidents of abuse around you, you can tell the authorities about them. They can take actions to protect the victims.

If you are experiencing or you know a victim of violence, reach out to your Barangay VAW desk or the nearest local Social Welfare and Development Office.

Stand up against abuses!
