to a question.
But the inter-agency committee meets. In fact, in April or May, one of the agenda discussed was
the local concerns of women and children in the locality. But sometime in September 2, we had a
face to face dialogue which was limited to 12 participants only, right after ECQ, with CSWDO,
WCPD Officials, Barangay Officials and Councilors handling women and children cases. The
meeting wanted to lay out a referral and coordinating system in handling VAWC cases, plus the
making of affidavits and lists of documents to be prepared.
For the recommendations, CSWDO mentioned that webinar series should be continued because it
was a big help for them but there is a need to improve the internet connection. Also, to provide
capacity building trainings and seminars in order to equip the service providers with the necessary
knowledge and skills in handling GBV related cases.
Prosecutor Bance, focused on the continued collaborative partnership among duty bearers and
improve facilities and internet connectivity, power supply and physical offices itself.
