Gatchalian seeks protection for vulnerable school girls amid new lockdown measures
Following the released survey which identified violence against women as a top concern during the COVID-19 pandemic, Gatchalian reiterated the need to ensure continued education and protection programs for vulnerable girls to combat gender-based violence amid new lockdown and curfew measures.
The Commission on Population and Development (POPCOM) recently cited the results of a Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey which revealed that for 25 percent of Filipinos, harmful acts in various forms -including physical (11 percent), sexual (7 percent), and emotional (7 percent) violence -are among the most pressing problems of women.
Gatchalian added that since school-age girls have been confined to their homes since the start of lockdowns a year ago, they are also more vulnerable to domestic violence and dropping out.
