CAPTURE 18: Malayan Colleges Mindanao (A Mapua School)
Amidst the pandemic, violence against women and children remains to be rampant in the Philippines. Community quarantines have led to an increase in domestic violence. At present, the Philippines has the 3rd highest number of VAWC-related searches. Moreover, the country has the lowest age to determine statutory r**e among countries in Asia. S*x with a minor as young as 12 is NOT automatically considered r**e in the Philippines. However, there are existing initiatives which aim to end violence against women and children, including the petition by Child Rights Network (Link: bit.ly/ENDChildRape). Together, let’s STOP VIOLENCE and BREAK THE SILENCE!
Deadline for reacts and shares is on November 16, 2021, 9PM.
