Q2 Thematic Output: Empowering Women thru Laws

Image Source

Republic Act No. 9262, otherwise known as the Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children (VAWC) Act of 2004, provides legal protections and makes accountable perpetrators of abuse; in this sense, the Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act is vital in the 18-day Campaign to End Violence Against Women. The law promotes awareness, pointing out the social responsibility for the prevention of violence and helping the survivors. Its implementation in the campaign shows that the government is interested in creating a safer and more equal society. R.A. 9262 strengthens the fight against gender-based violence by bridging the gap between awareness and enforcement, encouraging greater societal change.

Below are 2 laws related to R.A. 9262:


1. Republic Act No. 9208

Republic Act No. 9208, otherwise known as the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003 is a Philippine law that provides for the prevention, prosecution, and punishment of trafficking in persons while protecting and assisting its victims. It defined trafficking as acts involving recruitment, transportation, transfer, or harboring of persons through force, fraud, or coercion for exploitation such as sexual exploitation, forced labor, slavery, or organ removal. Thus, the law imposes severe penal provisions for traffickers- imprissonment and fines-and stipulated rehabilitation and reintegration back in society. It also provided collaboration with government agencies with NGOs and international organizations regarding battling trafficking. Republic Act No. 10364-Amended by Expanded Anti- Trafficking in Persons Act of 2012 which strengthens provisions and addresses certain present threats associated with cases of human trafficking in the Philippines.

2. Republic Act No. 11313

Republic Act No. 11313 is the Safe Spaces Act, or more popularly referred to as the Bawal Bastos Law, aiming to shield individuals from all kinds of gender-based sexual harassment in public spaces, workplaces, schools, and even in online platforms. This will punish catcalling, wolf-whistling, unwanted advances, and sexist slurs. The creation of mechanisms and policies on the prevention of harassment will also be imposed by this Act, through which it can institute training programs and reporting systems within institutions and organizations. Penalties for offenders will range from fines to imprisonment, depending on the offense's nature and severity. The law aims to promote a safe, respectful, and non-discriminatory environment for everyone, regardless of gender.

Q2 Reflection

Image Source Basic knowledge of HTML has always been an enlightening moment as it provided a simple basis of how websites work and are created. As far as I know, I learned that HTML means HyperText Markup Language or is the backbone of every page. It defines its contents and layout. I have learned how important syntax and structure are in coding by using tags and elements like <html> ,  <head> , <body> , and <p> . Through hands-on practice, I was able to create simple web pages with text, images, and links, showing how each line of code contributed to the final visual output. This understanding of HTML has given me the confidence to explore web development further. I also realized the usage of attributes in personalizing an element and, therefore improving its functionality. Attributes, such as src , href , and alt , opened my eyes to how HTML combines the simple with versatility to generate an interactive, user-friendly web page. It was surprising how form...

Building Connections: Reflection and Lessons Learned from Our Community-Based Research Project

  Through this community-based research (CBR) project, I have learned a lot about how to study real-life problems in the community. I learned how to use research methods and work with the community to collect important information. Working on the web design was also a great experience because I manage to improve my previous skills on how to make websites that are easy to use and show information clearly. This project also showed me how important it is to work together as a team, because everyone has different skills and ideas to share. In the end, this project helped me get better at both research and web design while also learning how to involve the community better. One of the problems I faced was making sure the web design looks good and is easy to use for many different people. It was hard to balance making the website fun to look at and making sure it was easy to navigate. Another problem was getting enough good data for the research, since working with the community took a l...
