Today, (Syncho) we performed in the Philippine Embassy for a Christmas Party and guests/members from KALAKASAN were there.

This event is part of the Embassy’s initiative to raise awareness on VAOWC stands for Violence Against Women and their Children.

The first song we sang was Ugoy ng Duyan and the room got emotional.

Kalakasan Migrant Women Empowerment Center is a non-governmental organization based in Japan that supports and empowers migrant women—especially Filipino women—and their children who face abuse, legal difficulties, economic hardship, or social isolation while living in a foreign country. Founded in 2002, the center provides crisis intervention, counseling, assistance with visa and legal concerns, and community support programs, while also advocating for the human rights and protection of migrant women. The word kalakasan, meaning “strength” in Filipino, reflects the organization’s mission to help migrant women regain safety, dignity, and self-reliance in Japan.

Violence Against Women and their Children (VAOWC) remains a serious global human rights issue, affecting millions of women and children across all cultures, countries, and socioeconomic groups, with consequences that include physical injury, psychological trauma, lost economic opportunities, and intergenerational cycles of abuse. Globally, it is recognized as both a public health and development concern, undermining gender equality and social stability, while in the Philippines it is addressed under Republic Act No. 9262, which acknowledges domestic and intimate-partner violence as a crime and provides legal protection to victims. Addressing VAOWC is significant because it safeguards fundamental human rights, protects children from lifelong harm, strengthens families and communities, and reinforces the rule of law, making prevention, survivor support, and effective enforcement essential for sustainable and inclusive development.

This is not a private issue but a collective responsibility, and ending it requires action from everyone—families, communities, institutions, and governments. By speaking out, supporting survivors, promoting respect and equality, and holding perpetrators accountable, we can break the cycle of abuse and create safe, dignified spaces where women and children can live free from fear and violence.

Thanks to Philippine Embassy in Japan for this opportunity, which is both humbling and inspiring. Syncho is always here to support especially with this kind of endeavor.
