December 12 as the 18 Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women (VAW), with the theme, “UNITED for a VAW-free Philippines” and DepEd Memorandum 065, s. 2023 titled 2023 Observance of the 18th Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women, the field is hereby informed of the Division Kick Off Ceremony of the 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) 2023 on November 24, 2023 at 8:00 AM via DepEd Tayo Dasmariñas Facebook and YouTube Live.
2. The campaign is an opportune time for the Department of Education (DepEd)
to further the MATATAG agenda of inclusive education through the implementation of Gender and Development (GAD) programs, projects, and activities (PPAs) in line with the Department’s mandate of providing gender-responsive basic education. Furthermore, the activity aims to:
a. Empower women by campaigning for women’s and children’s rights and available courses of actions in case these rights are violated;
b. Encourage others to fight for women’s rights; and
c. Inform the public that the City Schools Division of Dasmariñas is a government
agency that promotes and supports anti-violence against women and children.
3. All division and public-school personnel, especially GAD coordinators, are
encouraged to watch the live ceremony.
