CEDAW/C/PHI/5-6 family members to protect themselves against violence and manage peaceful resolution of conflict within the context of family relations. It aims to organize and mobilize multi-agency action groups in the prevention of family violence from the regional up to the barangay level. Also involved in the crusade against VAWC are three legal groups, SALIGAN (Sentro ng Alternatibong Lingap Panlegal) and Women’s Legal Bureau, and KALAKASAN (Kababaihan Laban sa Karahasan), an NGO providing shelter and counseling. These groups maintain a network of services dedicated to helping women survivors of violence. Other activities are Tigil-Bugbog (Stop Wife Battering) hotline for counseling, self-defense classes for women and paralegal training for people in the community. As part of the regional network of activists promoting CEDAW, the groups cooperated in carrying out a research to establish the baseline status of women’s rights against VAW. They have also conscientiously tried to maintain records of their clients and services to help establish data on the extent and nature of violence committed against women. WCC reports that in 1999, some 64 percent of their cases were battered women; 9 percent were rape or incest victims and 6 percent were victims of sexual harassment. 225. The Vine Foundation, a consortium of five NGOs (Bidlisiw Foundation, NORFIL Foundation Inc., World Vision, Legal Alternatives for Women, and the Children’s Legal Bureau), operates in the cities of Mandaue and Lapu-lapu and Cordova and Consolacion towns in Cebu Province. Its integrated family development program covers advocacy, training, legal aid and livelihood assistance. It plans to set up a crisis intervention center to provide temporary shelter as well as psychosocial and legal counseling to women and children survivors of abuse, but livelihood assistance would remain a key intervention. 226. Childhope Asia-Philippines initiated “Community Mobilization for the Prevention, Protection and Care of Abused and Sexually-exploited Children” program more than five years ago. Implemented in Pasay City, the comprehensive program to motivate parents and to identify children for referral to direct service programs continues to raise the consciousness and awareness of all sectors (city schools, church groups, barangay advocates and leaders) of Pasay City about child abuse and prostitution. Alarmed by the rapid increase of child prostitution in the city, Childhope formed the Pasay City Network for the Protection of Children. From 1996 to 1998, Childhope advocacy activities reached over 130 barangays in the city. Its activities included training sessions in case management and basic social work for volunteer counselors. Over 300 children and youth and NGO staff attended workshops on theater arts, value clarification, or paralegal education. By 1998, some 1000 street children were served. In December 1996, Childhope set up an Inter-Agency Task Force in another city, Kalookan. In 1997 and 1998, it provided counseling, health service, alternative education, or paralegal aid to 1,020 street children. In 1998, its Drop-in Center offered 140 sexually exploited girls with temporary shelter, non-formal education, medical and health assistance, recreational activities and counseling. 227. The Lunduyan (formerly Children’s Laboratory Foundation) conducted family violence workshops in six barangays each in two provincial cities of Roxas and Iloilo in 1998 and 1999. These workshops trained 170 village justice advocates in Roxas and 210 in Iloilo and helped barangays to decide on three cases of child abuse in Roxas and five in Iloilo. The training workshops are still on going in two provincial cities in the Visayas (Guimaras and Antique), but this time for judges and prosecutors. 70
