targeting the male staff members were provided an orientation seminar. The orientation cum capacity building carried the following objectives: (a) orient CHR staff particularly the males on GBV and how this affects their families and communities; (b) make participants realize the active role of men in addressing GBV; and (c) mobilize CHR staff to take their own personal day-to-day initiatives in preventing violence against women (VAW). The month-long celebration also included on March 28 via a Zoom meeting the "Kwentuhang GBV (Storytelling on Gender-Based Violence): Sharing of Monitoring Results and Strengthening of GBV Responses". The summary of the GBV mapping project conducted in different regions from 2020-2021 were shared to the participants. • International Women’s Day To celebrate the International Women's Day and in observance of the Women's month, the Commission endeavored to strengthen men's participation among its partners and communities in advancing gender equality and women's empowerment. To do this, a platform was created where men will be provided with an orientation on issues of Violence Against Women (VAW) and how they can help to address and curb the alarming trend. The CHR-Gender Equality and Women’s Human Rights Center (GEWHRC) conducted a “He For She” Campaign webinar on March 8 via Zoom. The webinar aimed at highlighting the need to collectively work towards gender equality and to collaborate on doable solutions. The participants included male employees from the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA), Land Transportation and Franchising Regulatory Board (LTFRB) and the National Confederation of Transport Union Workers-Mandaluyong Transport Service Cooperative—all of whom are also partners of the CHR in its #SafeSpacesNow and #RighttheRide Campaigns. The gender equality-centered webinar was also taken as an opportunity to sharpen the involvement of the transportation union and public utility jeepney drivers’ sector as partners for Safe Spaces in cooperation with the National Confederation of Transport Workers Union and its members. The joint venture has been part of the continuing campaign on “Right the Ride” for the full and effective implementation of the Safe Spaces Act that the Commission is currently conducting. The activity was attended by 120 Zoom participants. • Women with Disabilities Day The CGEWHR conducted a digital contest with the theme "Women Medical Front-liners: Pagpugay Sa Mga Bayani Sa Panahon Ng Pandemya (Commending the Women-Heroes in the Time of Pandemic)". The theme highlighted the role of women medical front-liners during the pandemic. The CHR acknowledged that women were at the forefront of the battle against the pandemic; they made up almost 70% of the healthcare workforce. At the onset of this global health problem, they had to respond to the enormous need of the health care system while being more prone and thus in no less physical and mental risks themselves. In addition to responding to alleviate the crisis of the pandemic, women medical frontline workers, in hospitals, in clinics, and in the communities were also burdened with care-giving work at home, even as they performed other competing responsibilities. As the country gradually transitioned to recovery, it was only appropriate that fitting recognition be given the pandemic’s women heroes. The contest was launched on April 21, during the hosting of the first focus group discussion with women medical front-liners - Luzon Cluster. The contest ran from April 21 until May 28. The winners were announced on May 28, 2022 in time for the celebration of the International Day of Action for Women's Health. There were 14 entries submitted and judged. 22
