Discussions focused on determining participants’ knowledge on VAWC as well as local
women’s access to related services. This covers specific procedures in handling GBV
cases and at which points key stakeholders are involved in addressing GBV. This include
discussions on their documentation practices and referral mechanisms. Good practices,
gaps, and challenges in handling cases were also discussed to see possible points of
improvement. Participants also established a local directory of GBV responder contacts
and a map detailing corresponding responsibilities of agencies.
CHR regional offices, in close coordination with the local inter-agency mechanism on
VAW (RIACVAWC), each held summits as a venue to discuss results of the GBV
mapping. In some summits, research on local women’s experiences of GBV were
presented. Pressing issues and proposed solutions were discussed in an endeavor to
foster better partnerships among stakeholders in preventing, monitoring, and generally
addressing GBV issues at the local and regional level. Dates, venues, and attendance
details are summarized in the matrix below:
