Quarter 2 Thematic in ICT



In Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act of 2004 was enacted on March 8 2004. This law tells that we need to protect women and children to different forms of abuse, such as, physical, emotional, sexual, and economic violence. This law penalizes by any act or series of acts '' committed by any person against women who is wife, former wife, or against a woman with whom the person has or had a sexual or dating relationship,or with whom he has a common child, or against her child whether legitimate or illegitimate, within or without the family abode. 

The 18-day Campaign to End Violence Against Women is an annual event in the Philippines,observed from November 25 to December 12. It aims to raise awareness about violence against women and children and encourage action to stop.

A Philippine law known as RA 11313, or the Safe Spaces Act of 2019, was created to shield people—particularly women and vulnerable groups—from sexual harassment in public places, workplaces, educational institutions, and online. By including verbal, non-physical, and online offences such leering, catcalling, and uninvited sexual approaches, it broadens the definition of sexual harassment. The law requires establishments to have harassment prevention measures in place, imposes penalties for violators, and mandates safer surroundings in public areas. In an effort to promote a respectful and dignified culture throughout society, it also offers victims safety and reporting channels.


In order to expand the legal definition of rape, RA 11648, which was passed on March 11, 2022, alters
RA 8353 (The Anti-Rape Law of 1997). Sexual assault and other non-consensual sexual actions outside of vaginal sex are now included. Additionally, the legislation establishes a distinct category for incestuous rape and imposes harsher punishments, especially in situations involving kids. These modifications seek to enhance the prosecution of sexual assault and fortify victim safeguards under the law.
