As a guideline, it was stressed that the regional officers shall observe the following during the conduct of FGDs: (1) Make use of the FGD tools previously provided, and shall focus on documenting processes, good practices, gaps, and challenges; (2) They shall also identify areas for specific follow up process or immediate response; FGDs and identified follow up processes shall be duly recorded. (3) The budget for the mapping includes not only meals for the FGD participants, but also for a documentor of the process. In time for the 18-day Campaign to End VAW, the mapping of GBV legal referral mechanism culminates in a simultaneous gathering of members of regional inter-agency mechanism on VAW, women’s organizations, academics, and community women hosted by CHR’s regional offices. The Summit against GBV will be a venue to discuss results of the GBV mapping, serious and/or emerging issues or researches on GBV in the region, and proposals for action. The simultaneous conduct of regional Summits is expected to result in greater impact, and foster enhanced partnerships in the regional level. In particular, the Summit Against GBV is aimed at the following objectives: (1) To enhance awareness of GBV, gaps and issues in the legal referral mechanisms, and recommend and facilitate enhanced functionality of mechanisms in the regions; (2) To strengthen the Commission’s partnerships with different stakeholders, particularly in the local and regional inter-agency mechanism against VAW, in addressing GBV and enhancing women’s access to justice; and, (3) To contribute to the GBV Observatory through the gathering of regional GBV data, including gaps in implementation, and narratives of women in accessing justice in cases of GBV in their respective areas of responsibility. The GBV summit shall be planned and hosted by the CHR Regional Office in close coordination with the local inter-agency mechanism on VAW (RIACVAWC). Early in the year, the CHR regional office shall make mention of the event in council meetings. At the national level, the GEWHRC will seek endorsement from the IACVAWC for the support of the GBV Mapping and the conduct of the Summit Against GBV. Follow-through processes and immediate response through the exercise of promotion, protection, and policy mandates will be identified. While no budget is accorded for this part, this may be undertaken together with other regional activities, and charged under the Region’s GAD budget supported activities. More importantly, this is meant to give back to the LGUs and women’s organizations that has opened itself up to the process of GBV mapping.
