medical results will be used in the legal process
(MSWD/MHO/MPDC/PNP)
There is currently only one MHO/doctor in the municipality of
Sta. Cruz. The PNP are often forced to refer VAWC victims
to nearby municipalities (Malalag/Malita) for health
examination (PNP/MSWD)
The MSWD are sometimes challenged with clients who keep
on violating the agreements that they have settled for. These
cases are referred to the barangay but will eventually be
referred back to the MSWD. This results into repetitive
interventions. (MSWD)
Provision of basic needs (food, support on education of
children, etc) to victims of VAWC (MSWD/MPDC)
Provision of livelihood interventions to KALIPI (womens’
group). Livelihood interventions are not specific to VAWC
victims. (MPDC)
Oplan Davao Kalinaw - implementation of medical missions,
distribution of school supplies, education campaign on
VAWC, Rape, and other laws. (PNP)
