By Gabriela Baron

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. vowed on Monday, July 25, to strengthen programs on violence against women and their children (VAWC).

“Hindi rin natin nakakalimutan ang solo parents at mga nanay na nahiwalay sa kanilang mga mister dahil sa karahasan,” Marcos Jr. said during his maiden State of the Nation Address.

“Pagtitibayin natin ang programa sa Violence Against Women and their Children, kabilang na ang counseling para sa mga biktima, katuwang ang ating mga [local government unit],” he added.

Marcos Jr. also said his administration will ensure that there are enough funds for about 70 residential care centers and seven non-residential care centers for the vulnerable sectors and persons with disabilities.
