vaw headerSince 2002, the Philippine government has been actively joining the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence observed globally from November 25 to December 10 of each year. Said campaign calls for the elimination of all forms of violence against women through awareness-raising on gender-based violence, strengthening local initiatives and/or end VAW.

In 2006, through Presidential Proclamation 1178, the Philippine campaign was extended to 18 days, to include December 12 which is known as the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Day. The country's commitment to the observance was strengthened last year as President Aquino signed the Republic Act (RA) 10398 declaring November 25 as the National Consciousness Day for the Elimination of violence against women and children. The law also raises the standard by which this campaign is observed by mandating key agencies to undertake activities designed to raise public awareness on VAW.
