📄 Abstract
Since women and children are often the main victims because of their vulnerability and inability to stand against people in situations of positions of power, violence against women and their children, or VAWC, is a growing concern in communities. In order to protect women's and children's rights, the R.A. No. 9262 or the Violence Against Women and Their Children Act was passed in 2004. educates women about their rights and protects children from abuse in any form in the Philippines. Using a qualitative method, this study concentrates on in-depth interviews with participants in VAWC programs, such as Philippine National Police (PNP), barangay officials, and civilians. The objective is to evaluate the impact of these programs in preventing and lessening violence against women and children and to make recommendations for how to make them better. It's important to recognize the challenges facing programs that seek to prevent violence against women and children since it makes it easier to determine the ineffective aspects of the programs. By being aware of these challenges, we can develop strategies to enhance the programs and increase the effectiveness of safeguarding sensitive persons. Additionally, it guarantees more complete satisfaction of the requirements of women and children and a wise utilization of resources.
