As preparation for this endeavor, a Capacity Building of Regional Officers on GBV, the GBV Observatory, and in the mapping of legal referral mechanisms was organized with the main objective of strengthening regional officers’ ability to serve as Gender Ombud in their respective areas of responsibility. Held on April 2-3, 2019, the training with the theme “Making Data Work for Women” involved a total of sixty-one (61), of which eleven (11) are resource speakers/facilitators; forty-three (43) are regional officers such as the regional director, lawyer, and investigator, information officers or other officer considered as the gender focal or active in gender-related activities in the regional office and seven (7) are from the project secretariat. The activity’s Opening Program started with a Doxology, singing of the Philippine National Anthem, and Welcome Remarks from the CHR Focal Commissioner for Women. With Ms. Leah Barbia (GEWHRC) moderating the Program, she mentioned that the current activity is the second tranche of capacity building in relation to the GBV Observatory Project. Next, the Project Secretariat facilitated an audio visual presentation on GBV Mapping, recognition of speakers, participants and secretariat members, and expectations check. Participants were asked to identify their expectations on the activity in gender sensitive language and in terms of their sense of smell, taste, touch, sight, and hearing. During the processing, the expectations were grouped into (1) short term needs and requirement such as training environment, information, and materials which can be immediately addressed during the activity, and (2) long term results such as change, paradigm shift, and documenting and addressing GBV experiences which will be needing the collaborative efforts of all persons and offices involved in project implementation. The two-day training proper proceeded with sessions of lectures, inputs, discussions, group workshops and ice-breakers to start the morning and afternoon sessions.
