14. Campaign Background:
◦ The 18-Day Campaign to End Violence
Against Women (VAW) is observed
annually from November 25 to December
12. The objective of this annual event is to
raise awareness among all stakeholders
that VAW is a public issue of national
concern.
15. Orange Your Icon for 18-Days aims to
strengthen the anti-VAW advocacy by
enjoining new audiences to join our
cause. The idea is to attract the
public’s curiosity on why major
landmarks or icons nationwide are
colored orange, thereby providing
opportunities for advocates to explain
the Anti-VAW advocacy.
16. On November 27, 2006 – MOVE (Men
Opposed to VAW Everywhere) was
organized.
17. The Worldwide Campaign

from different regions of the world
observe the period from November 25
to December 10 as the 16 Days of
Activism Against Gender-Based
Violence.
18. ◦ The global campaign is further
strengthened with the launching in
2008 of the United Nations (UN)
Secretary-General’s UNiTE to End
VAW Campaign which envisions a
world free from all forms of violence
against women and girls.
19. VAW Campaign supports the
Philippine Government’s
goal to protect the human
rights of women and its
commitment to address all
forms of VAW.
20. The Philippines has participated in
this worldwide campaign to eliminate
VAW since 2002.
21. Presidential Proclamation 1172 s.

to 18 days, to include December 12, a
historic date that marked the start of
opening for signature in year 2000 of

and Punish Trafficking in Persons,
Especially Women and Children.

23. Anti-VAW laws on rape and sexual
harassment, strengthening
