R.A. 9262 gives the victims a voice and a chance to speak in order to get justice and protection. R.A 9262 punishes abusers and provides protection and support. 

During this 18-day campaign, we often head and learn about the stories or experiences of individuals who have faced hard times. People talk about how they were hurt in many ways like physically, emotionally or financially, but they managed to find strength through the law and the support of others. These stories remind us why laws like R.A. 9262 are important. This law

Each time that we act against violence, we move closer to a world where women and children don’t live in fear.

RA 8353 (Anti-Rape Law of 1997)

The Anti-Rape Law of 1997 has changed how we think about rape. It explains and says that rape is not just about breaking a moral rule but it is also considered as hurting someone’s dignity and their rights to control their own body. This law shows that rape includes any unwanted sexual act, even in marriage. It says that consent is important in every relationship. Rape is a serious crime, not just against a person's body but against their dignity.

RA 11313 (Safe Spaces Act of 2019)

The Safe Spaces Act aims to protect people from harassment in public places and online platforms. It is implemented to stop activities that make fellow individuals uncomfortable such as catcalling, stalking, and digital bullying behaviors. The law says that everyone deserves to feel safe and respected, and no one should suffer abuse in silence. This law is in order to protect individuals from harassment in public and online places. It ensures the safety and respect of everyone and that they can live and interact without having a fear of being bullied or disrespected.
