25 November 2025, YANGON – The Philippine Embassy in Myanmar joins the Filipino nation in commemorating the annual 18-Day Campaign to End Violence against Women (EVAW) which commences from 25 November to 12 December 2025.
The campaign theme remains “UNiTEd for a VAW-free Philippines.”
It specifically aims to:
- Accelerate the implementation of the National Action Plan to End Violence Against Women (NAP EVAW), 2025-2030;
- Mobilize youth to speak out against violence, raise awareness, and actively advocate for a VAW-free future;
- Empower men to be proactive allies by promoting respectful behavior, challenging harmful norms, and supporting gender equality;
- Encourage bystanders to take action, break the silence, and intervene safely and effectively; and
- Mainstream VAW prevention across sectors to ensure a whole-of-nation approach, linking it with broader social, economic, and governance agendas to address root causes and systemic barriers.
The Philippine Embassy in Myanmar remains committed to gender mainstreaming its programs as part of its Gender and Development (GAD) year-long initiatives. END
