In observance of the 2019 National 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women, the MWSS Regulatory Office (RO) Gender and Development (GAD) Committee engaged the agency’s personnel in a series of activities that aim to empower women and foster a VAW-free society.

On 28 November, the MWSS RO conducted a seminar on anti-sexual harassment and other gender-related laws for its personnel to raise awareness on sexual harassment in the workplace, its various forms, and the policies and legislation that protect against it. Employees also participated in a basic Krav Maga self-defense training yesterday, 04 December, to learn different techniques on how to protect and defend themselves against both armed and unarmed attackers, especially in unknown situations.
