6. The advantage of DSWD is that we are sharing our modules to have a gender responsive case management. (GRC) This is a tool that
we provide to our social workers. We have the principles, including the international laws and perspectives.
Prosy Dumlao, IACVAWC representative:
We share initiatives on GBV Observatory Project:
1. Functionality of mechanisms. RA 9262 provides for the creation of a council who would ensure that this law is properly
implemented. Though we call it VAW, it also covers other forms of violence, which includes GBV. In the regions, we have RIACVAWC.
In the provincial level, we have PCAT-VAWC. In the municipal level, we have MCAT VAWC. In Barangay, we have Barangay VAW Desk
Although we have the mechanism for GBV, the question is their functionality especially the Barangay VAW Desk. DILG through RO and POs is
now monitoring the functionality of these mechanisms through a tool developed by the council.
2. VAW data harmonization. We look at the VAW data harmonization. For example, we had consultation in Cavite. PNP reported 400
cases. DILG reported it is more than 800. There is a 50% discrepancy. This is now a priority project. We now have VAW data
harmonization tool developed by the council of 12 member agencies. 14 agencies have 49 VAW data collection forms. Also, there had
been 5 technical consultations. We came up with a client intake form, VAW referral form, and consent form.
We further discuss it with PNP-VAWCD. Ateneo also conducted a study on what should be included. We are now pilot testing the forms. If
you are interested, we can provide you the forms. LGBTQI, incidence details, PWDs are already included. This is where your
experience will enrich the tools. We will probably conduct a workshop on this again with a representative from the PSA.
We congratulate CHR on coming up with GBV Observatory project. There is really a clamour to address this.
3. Online platform. We need an online platform; we already developed a web-based system and put it in hold since we still need to
harmonize the forms. Perhaps CHR can consider incorporating this to the observatory. Look at the factors why they are
increasing/decreasing as well as the underlying factors.
