THE Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) on Wednesday said fighting violence against women (VAW) should be a struggle of all Filipinos.

“Violence isn’t only experienced by women. It is not just a few individual’s personal struggle, it is the struggle that the entire Filipino society must take on. Let us remember that ending violence against women starts with each of us, and we’ll only achieve victory if we work together to end not just violence against women, but also all forms of abuse against our nation,” Director Marita Pimentel, field program manager at the office of the DSWD Secretary Judy Taguiwalo, said.
