The Problem and It’s Background

Introduction

Violence against women and children is a serious public health concern, with costs
at multiple levels of society. Although violence is a threat to everyone, women and children are
particularly susceptible to victimization because they often have fewer rights or lack appropriate
means of protection. In some societies certain types of violence are deemed socially or legally
acceptable, thereby contributing further to the risk to women and children.

In the past decade research has documented the growing magnitude of such violence, but gaps in
the data still remain. Victims of violence of any type fear stigmatization or societal condemnation
and thus often hesitate to report crimes. The issue is compounded by the fact that for women and
children the perpetrators are often people they know and because some countries lack laws or
regulations protecting victims. Some of the data that have been collected suggest that rates of
violence against women range from 15 to 71 percent in some countries and that rates of violence
against children top 80 percent. These data demonstrate that violence poses a high burden on
global health and that violence against women and children is common and universal.

On January 27, 2011 the Institute of Medicine’s Forum on Global Violence conducted its first
workshop to explore the prevention of Violence against women and their children. Part of the
forum mandated to engage in multi sect oral and multidirectional dialogue that explores cross
cutting approaches to violence prevention. To that end, the workshop was design to examine
these approaches from multiple perspectives and at multiple levels of society. In particular, the
workshop was focused on exploring the success and challenges presented by evidence- based
from research. Speakers were invited to share the progress and outcomes of their work for the
said study.

RA 9262 VAWC is an act of 2004 where in this Law protects women and
children in all aspects. There are punishments and penalties present in RA 9262 VAWC. This
established Law were continuing to spread across the nation’s prevention for any kind of violence
such as this for Women and children. This kind of research study must be relevant most
especially to the young ones. To know how to properly adopt this Anti- Violence, to learn the
value of respect most especially to all human kind. Thus this Law helps to spread awareness and
stop all the violence to create a goal of a peaceful and harmless society.

HUMSS STUDENTS IN LEMERY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL for the preparation needed by the
senior high school students in adopting this Anti- violence.

The feminist theories and the feminist movements have vehemently demonstrated thatknowledge
cannot be considered neutral or objective. Traditionally, researchers haveengendered knowledge
on the basis of the dominant perspective and behavior in society, which was the male one
(androcentric). As a consequence, knowledge has been blind to the specific historical, political,
social and personal conditions on which it was reported, making invisible gender differences.
Feminist epistemologies have claimed that knowledge is dynamic, relative and variable and that it
cannot beconsidered an aim itself but a process.Taking into account this idea, the theoretical and
methodological proposal of thisproject is based on the following principles.

Gender inequalities and the promotion of women’s rights, interests and issues,are the common
basis of the feminist studies and their epistemologicalconcerns, despite the fact that there multiple
meanings of gender and theconcept of gender itself has been criticized (e.g. Butler, 2000; Breines,
Connelland Eide, 2000);

Violence against women “constitutes a violation of the rights and fundamentalfreedoms of

women and impairs or nullifies their enjoyment of those rights and freedoms” (Declaration on the
Elimination of Violence against Women, UN, General Assembly Resolution 48/1004 of 20
December 2003)

There are many expressions of violence against women and children can appear according to the
development of the social changes and the social dynamics. This was related to the academic
performances of the Grade 12 HUMSS student in Lemery Senior High School. Adopting this
Anti- Violence and spreading awareness can be a great contribution for aiming a harmless and
peaceful society. The Institute and Lecturers are partners in the learning and adopting process of
the learners.

Local Literature

According to Fritzie Rodriguez, Violence against women or VAW The

Philippines is no stranger to these three words. It is real, it is happening, It is claiming lives.

VAW is linked with the unequal power relationship between women and men resulting from

societies misinformed views on gender and sexuality according to the Philippines Commission on

Women. Men are traditionally labeled as leaders and providers while women are seen as nurturers

and supporters. This perspective leads to men gaining more power over women. It adds that

VAW is a form of men controlling women to retain their supremacy.

According to Clarissa David, Jose Ramon Albert and Jana Flor Vizmanos

reported a slight drop of VAWC incidence from 7.3 percent in 2008 to 5.6 percent in 2013. Most

of these abuses they noted, are experienced in the hands of closest family members of relatives,

such as partners or parents. Moreover a 2017 national survey commissioned by the UNICEF done

through the Council for the Welfare Children.

According to Claudia Cappa The CP MERG was established 2010 in

response to gaps and challenges in child protection monitoring, evaluation and research. Given

the general lack of data on violence against children and the momentum created by the 2006

publication of the United Nations Secretary-Generals Study on Violence Against Children. The

CP MERG created a Technical Working Group

In Gretchen E. Ely this imperial literature and synthe4is International

Domestic violence related to argument, harassments, bullying, and killings affects the mental,

social, emotional and physical health. The review continues with a summary of International

interventions, efforts, and recommendations for the prevention and awareness to be spread across

the world.

Meanwhile in James Mercy and Susan Hills, it is widely recognized that

different types of violence are related to one another. We persist the world over in addressing

violence as if it is the main problem. There are those who try to break the silos between the

different realms of violence, but these efforts are by large exceptions rather than these rules.
