The Guidelines provide details on how to operationalize the role of the Commission as the Gender Ombud. The Commission’s Central and Regional Offices maintain close working relationships with inter-agency mechanisms, government agencies, the academe, andCSOs to undertake promotion and advocacy activities on the rights of women and persons with diverse SOGIE. Regular events such as Women’s Month, International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT), the Pride March, the 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women were celebrated through internal and external capacity building and advocacy campaigns. In the Central Office, the GEWHRC regularly works with the Human Rights Education an Promotion Office in mainstreaming gender equality and women’s human rights. In 2015, it partnered with DILG for women’s human rights promotion through the Barangay, Human Rights Affairs Office, the Katarungang Pambarangay and other local government grassroots actors. In the same year and in 2016, the GEWHRC worked with the Women and Gender Institute (WAGI) in disseminating the CHR’s role as Gender Ombud and on GAD planning trainings. Partnerships with the academe were also undertaken, as well as radio guestings in order to promote women’s human rights. Most of the CHR Regional Offices exceeded their targets with regard to promotional activities, both within their offices and with external stakeholders. Trainings covered topics on women’s human rights, laws on women (e.g. CEDAW, MCW and RPRH laws), SOGIE, and gender sensitivity. The Regional Offices also conduct capacity building in places of detention. The CHR National Inquiry Report on RH was also released in the same year. This report contains the result of the three-month CHR inquiry on the implementation of the RPRH law. Six posters and a video depicting the results of the RH Inquiry were also launched in November 2016.
