The MWSS Regulatory Office joins the observance of the 18-day Campaign to End Violence Against Women (VAW), with the 2022-2027 recurring campaign theme, “UNiTEd for a VAW-free Philippines” and this year’s sub-theme, “VAW Bigyang Wakas, Ngayon na ang Oras!”.
In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Anti-VAWC Act of 2004 (RA 9262), the Philippine Commission on Women enjoins everyone to participate in the movement towards a VAW-free Philippines. According to the PCW, “in 2023 alone, 8,055 cases classified under the Republic Act No. 9262 (Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act of 2004) were reported to the Philippine National Police (PNP).”
The MWSS RO remains committed to advocating for the eradication of all forms of violence against women and girls. Together, every Juan and Juana can help create environments where women feel secure, valued, and empowered—in homes, workplaces, and communities.
Empower her. Conserve water.
Empower with care. Promote proper sanitation for her.
