Anti-Violence against Women Seminar

On March 12, Soroptimist International of Malabon held a Seminar on RA 9262 or otherwise known as the Anti-Violence against Women and their Children Act of 2004. 

The seminar is part of SI Malabon's Public Awareness Campaign aimed at empowering women and children to end the cycle of abuse. 

The highly informative seminar was conducted by PCINSP Concepcion A. Salas, Chief of the District Women and Children's Desk of the Northern Police District Office. 

Her concise and uncomplicated explanation of a woman's rights and narration of real cases, drove the point that violence has no place in a relationship between couples and their children. She clearly presented a woman's options under the law to protect herself and her children against an abusive partner. 

Violence has no place in our community and in our homes. SI Malabon intends to hold more seminars to inform women of their rights under the law. More than awareness, SIM strives to make accessible channels for women to seek advice, legal aid and protection.
