The discussion proceeded with an exercise in dealing with the following superior and other stakeholders who can be data sources: Gender-blind CHR Regional Director  Engage in conversation  Reflect on how sensitive or not to gender and how this is and effecting the delivery of services of respective office  Issuance of memo Gender-insensitive Barangay Chairperson  Provide orientation/training /awareness raising/education  Conduct other human rights promotion activities Law enforcement unit without VAWC Unit  Engage in conversation  Issue advisory to establish the VAWC VAW Desk coordinator but without resources  Report to higher-ups/and call attention to the lack of manpower for the police station It was reiterated that a strong relationship with counterpart agencies and institutions and service provision network is important. This presents a call to map out the available referral mechanisms, priorities and responsible agencies or institutions as different points of entry in GBV data mapping. The CHR then ought to balance their (1) role as Gender Ombud in referring the case so that the relevant agency or institution will do something about it, and (2) GBV Observatory functions in documenting and reporting the situation gender situation and GBV cases. As a response from the CHR GEWHRC, Atty. Rubin clarified that these things are already being done but guidance in terms of a more organized way of GBV mapping and documentation and reportorial requirements will be useful. She mentioned that it is good that the CHR regional offices are relating with members of interagency mechanisms, prosecutors’ Office, the DSWD and other agencies. etc. She added that concerns on selecting data sources, timeline, available budget, and other possible sources of funding will be discussed in the next workshop session. To close the session, Ms. Mesina (GBVO Consultant) hoped that the GBV mapping project presents an opportunity to learn a new set of skills in the conscious collection of data and addressing needed data and using appropriate referral mechanisms, and that after the project, this set of skills and practices will become embedded as a system and a culture in the Commission.
