VIRAC, Catanduanes- The Catanduanes State Colleges (CSC) Gender and Development (GAD) Committee spearheads the 18-day Campaign to End Violence Agianst Women (VAW) which started last November 25, 2011 and will end on December 12. | |||
In 1999, the UN General Assembly designated 25 November as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Violence against women and girls is a problem of pandemic proportions. | |||
Women's activists have marked 25 November as a day against violence since 1981. The date commemorates the brutal assassination of the three Mirabal sisters, political activists in the Dominican Republic, in 1960 on orders of Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo (1930-1961). | |||
As a support to the campaign, Dr. Minerva I. Morales, SUC President III of CSC issued a memorandum requiring all teaching, non-teaching personnel and students, except Grades I to IV to participate in the parade and mass held last November 25. | |||
In connection, a Seminar for CSC employees on VAW was held on the same day at the CSC Little Theater from 1:00-5:00 p.m. A whole-day training for Security Guards on Gender Sensitization is also being held today, Nov. 28 and on December 13 at the CSC Little Theater. | |||
Moreover, a Gender Awareness Seminar for Student leaders will also be conducted on December 14 at the audio-visual room for the whole day. | |||
Students from the different college of CSC also joined the activity. | |||
