To celebrate women's month and raise awareness about sexual harassment and ways to protect themselves, President Corazon Cojuangco-Aquino Memorial National High School (PCCAMNHS) participated in the career support program named “Project: Dream it, Be it” for Senior High School (SHS) girls, which was conducted at Academia Technologica de Santa Judiel last March 19.
The program began with the welcome remarks by Ms. Ruth M. Cantupay, who discussed sexual harassment and how it works, followed by guest speakers who shared information with the students.
Atty. Zolleta D. Rodriguez-Gatchalian discussed the Republic Act No. 11313, also called Safe Space (Bawal Bastos Law), which stated that it protects individuals against catcalling, misogynistic slurs, unwanted sexual advances, and online harassment.
Meanwhile, Atty. Bernard Jonathlax L. Gatchalian discussed the Republic Act No. 9262, or the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004, which stated that this law protects women and children from any form of abuse.
Some of the students asked the attorneys about particular experiences and asked for advice on how to protect themselves and fight for their rights.
This seminar went smoothly as the students were actively engaged, which also encouraged the students to dream bigger.
