GAD-VAWC

Since the passage of the Law, the IACVAWC member agencies have made significant accomplishments in the areas of public information and advocacy, policy development, capacity building, service delivery, and monitoring. Various orientations on the Law were held and primers and other IEC materials were printed to reach as many people as possible on the importance of the law. Frontline service providers were given various trainings on the use and application of the Law in their anti-VAWC services. Specific programs addressing the special needs of VAWC victims were developed and implemented and various tools and systems are being developed to monitor and evaluate the implementation of anti-VAWC services.

The IACVAWC have formulated a strategic plan to achieve their vision of “A gender - fair and empowered society that protects its people especially women and children from any form of violence and exploitation thus enabling them to fully exercise their rights and participate in all development efforts, and experience a peaceful and fulfilling family and community life.”

 In coordination with PNP and other related agencies, establish an education and training program for police officers and barangay officials to enable them to properly handle cases of VAWC; Develop and provide relevant community-based services for the rescue, recovery/rehabilitation and after-care services of victim-survivors of VAWC; Strengthen coordination with the DSWD-Development Regional Offices, LGUs, NGOs and other concerned institutions for women and children on the continuous conduct of VAWC related trainings to service providers.
