National Day vs Violence on Women and Children

Heads of government agencies, government-owned and -controlled corporations, local government units, and private sector employers must organize, engage, or participate in awareness activities.
Activities are designed to raise public awareness about the problem of violence against women and children and promote the elimination of all such violence.
The Philippine Information Agency (PIA) is mandated to allocate at least one hour of airtime for exclusive programs on these issues.
Television and radio networks are encouraged to provide airtime for programs addressing violence against women and children.
Print media, including local newspapers and magazines, are encouraged to highlight issues on violence against women and children.
Educational institutions at all levels, coordinated by the Department of Education, Commission on Higher Education, Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, Philippine Commission on Women, Department of Social Welfare and Development, NGOs, and other advocacy groups, are tasked to spearhead consciousness-raising activities.

The National Statistics Office, Philippine National Police, Department of Social Welfare and Development, Department of Labor and Employment, Department of Foreign Affairs, and all Philippine embassies and consulates shall collect and systematize data on all forms of violence against women and children.
The scope includes Filipino women and children working or residing abroad.
These agencies must consolidate and report statistics and the status of violence every November 25 annually.

The Philippine Commission on Women (PCW), Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT), and Inter-Agency Council on Violence Against Women and Their Children (IAC-VAWC) shall coordinate, monitor, and evaluate the 18-day campaign annually at the national level.
Regional Inter-Agency Committees (RIACAT-VAWC) perform similar functions at provincial, city, municipal, and barangay levels.
Annual reports must be made public every November 25 regarding findings and campaign outcomes.
These bodies may collaborate with other government agencies like the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board and Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, as well as private sector organizations.

Funding for the activities, programs, and projects comes from the five percent (5%) Gender and Development budget allocated to government agencies and LGUs.
This allocation is in accordance with Section 36 of Republic Act No. 9710 (The Magna Carta of Women).

If any provision of the Act is declared unconstitutional or invalid, the remaining provisions continue to be effective and valid.

The Act takes effect fifteen (15) days after its publication in two national newspapers of general circulation.
