Violence Against Women And Children

Under Republic Act No. 9262, otherwise known as the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004 (“VAWC”), the concept of “violence” against women and children includes not just physical violence, but also sexual violence, psychological violence, and economic abuse, including threats of such acts, battery, assault, coercion, harassment, or arbitrary deprivation of liberty.

Some women and children had been disrespected back then and overpowered by some men and thanks to the RA 9262 stopped the harming of men to women and children.
