4. Introduction
Violence against women and girls is one of the world’s most
prevalent human rights violations, taking place every day,
many times over, in every corner of the globe. It has serious
short- and long-term physical, economic and psychological
consequences on women and girls, preventing their full and
equal participation in society. The magnitude of its impact,
both in the lives of individuals and families and society as a
whole, is immeasurable.
Presentation title 4

intimate partner violence, is any pattern of behavior
that is used to gain or maintain power and control over
an intimate partner. It encompasses all physical,

or threats of actions that influence another person.
This is one of the most common forms of violence
experienced by women globally.

partner or children; destruction of pets and
property; “mind games”; or forcing isolation

Sexual violence involves forcing a partner to
take part in a sex act when the partner does
not consent.
11

12. Femicide

13. Femicide refers to the intentional murder of
women because they are women, but may be
defined more broadly to include any killings of
women or girls. Femicide differs from male
homicide in specific ways. For example, most
cases of femicide are committed by partners or ex-
partners, and involve ongoing abuse in the home,
threats or intimidation, sexual violence or
situations where women have less power or fewer
resources than their partner.
13

14. Honor killing
Honor killing is the murder of a family
member, usually a woman or girl, for the
purported reason that the person has brought
dishonor or shame upon the family. These
killings often have to do with sexual purity,
and supposed transgressions on the part of
female family members.
14

15. Sexual Violence

16. Sexual violence is any sexual act
committed against the will of another person,
either when this person does not give consent
or when consent cannot be given because the
person is a child, has a mental disability, or is
severely intoxicated or unconscious as a result
of alcohol or drugs.
16

17. Sexual harassment
Sexual harassment encompasses non-consensual
physical contact, like grabbing, pinching, slapping,
or rubbing against another person in a sexual
way. It also includes non-physical forms, such as
catcalls, sexual comments about a person’s body
or appearance, demands for sexual favors,
sexually suggestive staring, stalking, and exposing
one’s sex organs.
17

18. Rape

oral penetration of another person with any
bodily part or object. This can be by any
person known or unknown to the survivor,
within marriage and relationships, and during
armed conflict.
18

19. Corrective rape
Corrective rape is a form of rape of perpetrated
against someone on the basis of their sexual
orientation or gender identity. It is intended to
force the victim to conform to heterosexuality
or normative gender identity.
19

20. Rape culture
Rape culture is the social environment that
allows sexual violence to be normalized and
justified. It is rooted in patriarchy and fueled
by persistent gender inequalities and biases
about gender and sexuality.
20

21. Human Trafficking

22. Human trafficking is the acquisition and
exploitation of people, through means such as
force, fraud, coercion, or deception. This
heinous crime ensnares millions of women and

exploited.
22

23. Female Genital Mutilation

24. Female genital mutilation (FGM) includes
procedures that intentionally alter or cause injury to
the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. It is
classified into four major types, and both the practice
and the motivations behind it vary from place to place.
FGM is a social norm, often considered a necessary
step in preparing girls for adulthood and marriage and
typically driven by beliefs about gender and its relation
to appropriate sexual expression. It was first classified
as violence in 1997 via a joint statement issued by
WHO, UNICEF and UNFPA.
24

25. Child Marriage

26. Child marriage refers to any marriage
where one or both of the spouses are below the
age of 18. It is a violation of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, which states that
“marriage shall be entered into only with the
free and full consent of the intending spouses.”
Girls are more likely to be child brides, and
consequently drop out of school and experience
other forms of violence.
26

27. Online or Digital Violence

28. Online or digital violence against women
refers to any act of violence that is committed,
assisted or aggravated by the use of information
and communication technology (mobile phones,
the Internet, social media, computer games,
text messaging, email, etc.,) against a woman
because she is a woman.
28

29. Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying involves the sending of

52. Practical Solutions to Combat the
Physical and Psychological
Violence Against Women
Presented by:
Mary Magdalene B. Cuajunco

53. Introduction
Rapidly expanding digitalization is increasing online violence
against women and girls, compounding existing forms of
violence and leading to the emergence of new ones.
Ending violence against women is everyone’s business.
Whether you’re a low level employee or part of the higher
administration, here are ten ways you can act now to end
violence against women and girls:
Presentation title 53

54. 1. Speak up, speak out

55. Violence against women is pervasive, but it’s not
inevitable—unless we stay silent. In the face of rising
anti-feminist movements, it’s more crucial than ever
that we speak up and out.
Taboos around gender-based violence provide
perpetrators with impunity and prevent women and
girls from getting the help they need: less than 40 per
cent of women who experience violence seek help of
any sort.
55

56. 2. Know the issue—and the signs

57. Violence against women takes many forms. It
can be physical, sexual or emotional. It can be
public or private, online or off, perpetrated by a
stranger or an intimate partner. Regardless of
how, where, or why it happens, it has serious
short- and long-term consequences for women and
girls and serves to prevent their full and equal
participation in society. Know what to look for by
familiarizing yourself with the different kinds of
violence.
57

58. 3. Call out sexual harassment

59. For many women, sexual harassment is a daily
experience. Whether it’s online, on the street or in
the workplace, brushing off inappropriate behavior
serves to further normalize it.
Common forms of harassment like online
bullying, catcalling, sexual comments and sexual
jokes serve to make women and girls feel unwelcome
and unsafe in public spaces. They help to reinforce
biases and stereotypes that perpetuate misogyny.
And they contribute to a culture of impunity, in
which women can be harmed without consequence.
59

60. Create a safer environment for everyone
online and offline by challenging your peers to
reflect on their own behavior and speaking up
when someone crosses the line, or by enlisting
the help of others if you don’t feel safe.
60

61. 4. Challenge beliefs on masculinity

62. Evidence shows that women in relationships
with men whose beliefs and behaviors reinforce
male dominance and gender inequality are more
likely to experience intimate partner violence.
Traditional concepts of masculinity tend to
emphasize traits like aggression, strength and
control—while disparaging sensitivity, empathy,
vulnerability and other traits traditionally
associated with femininity.
62

63. When we fail to challenge these beliefs,
everyone loses. Reflect on your own ideas
about masculinity and femininity, and think
critically about depictions of gender in media
and culture. Support the men and boys in your
life to embrace caretaking, emotional
expression and other traditionally non-
masculine traits.
63

64. 5. Fund/Support Women’s Organizations

65. Evidence shows that a strong and autonomous
feminist movement is the most crucial factor in driving
policy change on gender-based violence. Increasing
long-term funding to women’s rights organizations is
key to finding effective solutions to prevent and respond
to violence against women. Donate/Support to local
organizations that empower women, support survivors
and promote actions and policies designed to reduce
and prevent violence.
65

66. 6. Call for Better Responses and Services

67. Services for women and girls experiencing
violence can be the difference between life and
death.
This means that shelters, hotlines,
counseling and all support for survivors of
gender-based violence need to be available for
those in need, even during crises and
emergencies.
67

68. Join in calling on governments and
support programs and projects that aim to
bridge funding gaps to address violence against
women and girls, ensure essential services for
survivors of violence are maintained during
crisis and conflict, implement prevention
measures, and invest in adapting and
improving life-saving services for women and
girls in diverse contexts.
68

69. 7. Demand More Data

70. To effectively combat gender-based
violence, we need to understand the issue.
Relevant data collection is key to implementing
successful prevention measures and providing
survivors with the right support.
70

71. 8. Push for Stronger Laws

72. The world needs stronger protection
mechanisms to prevent and eliminate violence,
harassment, threats, intimidation, and
discrimination against women human rights
defenders and women’s rights advocates and
activists. In the Philippine context, a robust
support for the Magna Carta for Women and
the law against VAWC is necessary.
72

73. 9. Support Women’s Leadership

74. Women’s representation in decision-
making spaces helps to ensure that the needs
of women and girls are front and center—in
crisis responses, humanitarian and peace
agreements and policies of all kind.
74

75. Call for women’s increased representation
in leadership, and for heightened protections
for women in positions of power. Support
women political candidates and women-led
organizations and companies. Or take matters
into your own hands—become the woman
leader you want to see in the world.
75

76. 10. Build Solidarity with Other Movements

77. Strengthen the fight against gender-based
violence by getting involved in other social and
political movements, and getting activists from
those movements involved in yours.
Together, we can resist the rollback on
women’s rights, amplify and push forward to
end violence against women and girls once and
for all.

90. Subtle Discrimination
Against Women in the
Workplace and How to
Avoid Them
Presented by:
Joanne Marie P. Berongoy
Sarah P. Arellano

91. Most people know that blatant acts of
discrimination and harassment are illegal, and
most people can identify the obvious ones: the
coworker who uses racial slurs, the manager
who inappropriately touches female
employees, the employer who will not hire or
promote a certain worker because of their
sexual orientation. However, even more subtle
forms of discrimination that may not appear
wrong on their face are still prohibited if they
impact your employment.

92. Subtle acts of discrimination based on
these actual or perceived classes can
take many forms.
Examples generally include:
•Questioning the judgment of a certain
worker
•Making inflammatory or insulting
“jokes”
•Using terms such as “us” and “them” to
refer to minorities or other genders
•Ascribing negative attributes to only
certain workers
•Failing to make eye contact with certain
employees

93. •Avoiding socializing or
working with certain
employees
•Talking about
stereotypes or making
inappropriate
comments

94. •Excluding certain workers
from professional or social
events
•Giving overly harsh criticism
or constant micromanaging
•Or having reduced
expectations of certain
workers

95. Effects of Discrimination
When an employee
becomes the victim of
gender discrimination, she
will likely experience one or
more of the following:
•Decrease in productivity
•Tension between the victim
and the company

96. •Isolation from the rest of the team
•Low self-esteem
•Fear, frustration or anger
Being discriminated against
because of your gender is
extremely unfair. No one should
be put through such hostility.
The law is written for equal
treatment, equal pay, and equal
opportunity.

97. How to start to overcome discrimination in the
workplace?
Once you’ve defined discrimination and bias in
the workplace, the next step is to implement
strategies to emliniate discrimination in the

better access to jobs for all women. On
several fronts, the Philippines is a best
performer when it comes to gender equality
in the East Asia and Pacific (EAP) region and
even globally.
