Coast Guard joins women’s violence free campaign

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has joined the 18-day campaign to end violence against women (VAW). The PCG Commandant Rear Admiral William M. Melad launched the campaign, which carries the theme “VAW-free community starts with me,” at the PCG Headquarters in Manila on November 28.

The event kicked off the activities lined up as part of the agency’s participation in this year’s campaign against VAW which included the holding of a symposium on November 29 on RA 9262 (Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act) and the Run for #VAWfreePh to be held today (December 3) with the start and finish at the Quirino Grandstand.
