18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women (VAW)


The Philippine Embassy in Seoul joins the observance of the 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women (VAW) from 25 November to 12 December 2025 pursuant to Proclamation No. 1172 s. 2006, under the recurring theme for 2022–2027, “UNiTEd for a VAW-free Philippines.”

The 2025 campaign highlights the need for a whole-of-nation approach—calling on every Filipino—regardless of gender, age, or background, to actively speak up, take action to prevent violence, support survivors, promote justice and push for meaningful change. Ending VAW is a collective responsibility that calls on all of us to stand with women and girls in building a safer and more inclusive Bagong Pilipinas.
