The AUF College of Criminal Justice Education, in partnership with the Commission on Human Rights Region 3, hosted a seminar on Human Rights and Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) on Thursday at the St. John Paul II Hall, Professional Schools Building.
The event aimed to strengthen awareness and understanding of human rights and VAWC laws among students, faculty, and barangay leaders. Key participants included representatives from Brgy. Ninoy Aquino, Brgy. Salapungan, Brgy. Lourdes Sur East, and Brgy. Claro M. Recto.
Atty. John Angel Bautista served as the resource speaker, presenting legal insights and practical approaches to addressing violations, particularly those affecting women and children. His discussion covered current laws, community responsibilities, and the importance of early intervention and education in preventing abuse.
Opening remarks were delivered by Dr. Lucia Hipolito, with Dr. Alfie Sarmiento introducing the guest speaker. Dr. Rhem Rick Corpuz provided the closing message, while Dr. Oliver Salta led the coordination of the event.
The College Student Council described the seminar as part of a continuing effort to build partnerships with government agencies and equip communities with the tools to uphold human rights and respond to gender-based violence.
