The campaign, observed annually from November 25 to December 12 pursuant to Philippine Proclamation No. 1172, series of 2006, calls for collective action to address and eliminate gender-based violence.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 12pt;\">Personnel gathered at the Consulate to mark the start of the advocacy period, which carries the recurring theme for 2022-2027: &#8220;UNiTEd for a VAW-free Philippines.&#8221; This theme emphasizes the essential, transformative power of coordinated action across society to tackle this urgent issue. For 2025, the campaign is specifically focused on mobilizing diverse voices and key players in a shared commitment to empower survivors and promote justice.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 12pt;\">A highlight of the morning&#8217;s ceremony was the use of the All-Women Cast rendition of &#8220;Lupang Hinirang,&#8221; reinforcing the Consulate&#8217;s commitment to gender mainstreaming and celebrating women&#8217;s contributions in all sectors.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 12pt;\">Further demonstrating its dedication to the campaign\u2019s objectives, the Post recently conducted a specialized Gender and Development (GAD) photography workshop for its personnel on 12 November 2025. Titled &#8220;Framing Perspectives for Inclusive Communication,&#8221; the session explored how photography, when approached with a critical gender awareness, becomes a powerful tool for expression, storytelling, and advocacy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 12pt;\">The workshop aimed to equip staff with the skills to apply a gender-sensitive and inclusive lens to all technical and conceptual aspects of their visual documentation. By doing so, the Consulate aims to articulate its commitment to championing gender and development through compelling, inclusive, and sensitive visual narratives in its official communications and public diplomacy efforts.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4971f57 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4971f57\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6231afd\" data-id=\"6231afd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dbe957e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dbe957e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"2625\" height=\"1225\" src=\"https:\/\/newyorkpcg.org\/pcgny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VAWC1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newyorkpcg.org\/pcgny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VAWC1.png 2625w, https:\/\/newyorkpcg.org\/pcgny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VAWC1-768x358.png 768w, https:\/\/newyorkpcg.org\/pcgny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VAWC1-1536x717.png 1536w, https:\/\/newyorkpcg.org\/pcgny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VAWC1-2048x956.png 2048w, https:\/\/newyorkpcg.org\/pcgny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/VAWC1-500x233.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2625px) 100vw, 2625px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Consulate personnel participated in the GAD Photography Workshop, which was facilitated by Ms. Ria Eloise Regino, a Manila-based portrait and advertising photographer.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0260609 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0260609\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b83d4cf\" data-id=\"b83d4cf\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce1e48e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ce1e48e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 12pt;\">The Philippine Consulate General in New York invites all members of the community to join the &#8220;UNiTEd for a VAW-free Philippines&#8221; movement and support efforts to create a safer, more equitable society for all. <strong>END<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PH Consulate in New York Kicks Off 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women In solidarity with the global campaign to end violence against women and girls, the personnel of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[40,84,27],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v14.9 -
