Under Advisory No. 2026-001, the PCW reminds all government instrumentalities that the GAD budget is an attribution of an agency’s existing appropriations representing the cost of mainstreaming gender perspectives into its core mandates, rather than a stand-alone or “extra” fund. Therefore, it cannot be treated as a general reserve to comply with the energy conservation mandate under Memorandum Circular No. 114 or the national energy emergency declared under Executive Order No. 110.

However, the PCW allows for the strategic readjustment of the GAD Plan and Budget (GPB). Agencies may redirect funds from non-feasible, travel-intensive, or high-energy consumption activities toward cost-efficient interventions that respond to emerging gender issues exacerbated by the crisis. Such readjustments must remain compliant with existing GAD budget policy and administrative and audit guidelines issued by PCW, the Department of Budget and Management, and the Commission on Audit.

On April 17, 2019, Republic Act No. 11313 or the Safe Spaces Act was enacted to address gender-based sexual harassment in public settings, workplaces, schools, and online platforms. It strengthens protection mechanisms and promotes a culture of accountability and respect in every setting.

Seven years later, the call remains the same. Makibahagi, manindigan, at kumilos. Together, let us make safe spaces a daily reality for all.

On April 17, 2019, the Philippines enacted Republic Act No. 11313 or the Safe Spaces Act, recognizing that harassment can happen anywhere: on the streets, in workplaces, in public spaces, in schools, and even online.

As we approach its 7th year of enactment, the message remains clear: everyone deserves safety, dignity, and respect in all spaces.

This law not only defines what constitutes gender-based sexual harassment—it also affirms that these acts have consequences and that accountability is key to building safer communities.

At bilang Pilipinong may respeto, maging kabahagi tayo sa pagbuo ng komunidad kung saan ang lahat ay ligtas at walang harassed. Kaya sa pagkakaroon ng safe spaces, kasali tayo. Ano, tara?

The NAP EVAW 2025–2030 is the Philippines’ strategic framework of the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) and the Inter-Agency Committee on Violence Against Women and their Children (IACVAWC) Council in late 2025. It shifts focus from merely responding to abuse to primary prevention, strengthening survivor support, and enhancing accountability through a multi-sectoral, “whole-of-nation” approach, aiming to create a VAW-free Philippines by 2030.

Succeeding the IACVAWC Strategic Plan and Advocacy and Communications Plan (2017–2022), the NAP EVAW 2025–2030 is guided by the initial results of the assessment of the Anti-VAWC Act and includes the following primary outcomes:

1. Ending norms and values that support VAW;
2. Building a strong response system from which victim-survivors will avail of services to stop their victimization and achieve long-term well-being and independence; and
3. Ensuring the adequacy and effectiveness of mechanisms for coordination, planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and reporting of VAW.

As Women’s Month draws to a close, a long-envisioned tool for justice is finally within reach.

After 25 years of research, a Philippine-made sexual assault investigation kit developed by
University of the Philippines scientists is now set for public release.

Designed to support the proper collection, preservation, and documentation of DNA
evidence, SAI.Kit strengthens the role of forensic science in sexual assault investigations — helping ensure that evidence can speak, even when victims cannot.

More than a scientific milestone, it reflects a sustained commitment to making justice more accessible, one case at a time.
