Thematic Output

 


The Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children (VAWC) Act of 2004 (R.A. No. 9262) holds a significant role in protecting women and children from abuse.  This law highlights the importance of addressing violence as a public crime and ensuring that victims have access to justice and protection.  The VAWC Act specifically addresses physical, sexual, psychological, and economic abuse within intimate relationships, empowering victims to seek legal remedies such as protection orders and criminal charges against offenders.


Here are two VAWC realated laws:


1. R.A. 8353 (The Anti-Rape Law of 1997)

Republic Act 8353, or the Anti-Rape Law of 1997, classifies rape as a public crime against persons, focusing on protecting dignity and well-being. It allows anyone to report the crime, even if the victim drops the case, and broadens the definition of rape to include acts involving force, intimidation, abuse of authority, and marital rape. This law strengthens protections and emphasizes the importance of consent.


2. R.A. 11313 (The Safe Spaces Act of 2019)

The law serves as a foundation for maintaining order, justice, and equality in society. It establishes rules and standards to regulate behavior, protect individual rights, and ensure fairness in resolving disputes. By holding individuals and institutions accountable, the law promotes social stability and safeguards the common good, fostering trust and harmony within communities.


Together, these laws form an effective framework that supports the campaign's advocacy to stop violence, promote gender equality, and empower survivors. By addressing violence, it contributes to a safer society for women and children.
