The Philippine Commission on Women launched a standardized Training Guide for the Gender Sensitivity Seminar (GSS) for Perpetrators of the Safe Spaces Act (SSA) during the countryโ€™s first-ever CODI Summit on August 13, 2026, marking a significant milestone six years after the pioneering GSS session conducted at the Pasig City Jail in March 2020.

The Training Guide provides trainers with a structured, gender-responsive approach to delivering GSS as a rehabilitative intervention for first-time offenders of gender-based sexual harassment in public spaces under Republic Act No. 11313, or SSA, who are ordered by the courts to undergo the seminar as part of their community service

The module consists of three sessions focusing on gender norms and gender-based violence; empathy and healthy relationships; and personal accountability. Rather than treating the seminar as a compliance requirement, the Guide is designed to facilitate reflection, challenge harmful gender norms and attitudes, and encourage participants to take responsibility for their behavior.

The launch comes amid a steady increase in court-ordered referrals for GSS received by PCW, underscoring the growing need for a consistent and gender-responsive approach to the intervention.

In her message of support, PCW Executive Director Nharleen L. Santos-Millar emphasized that the Guide seeks to move the intervention beyond mere compliance toward meaningful reflection and behavioral change.

โ€œIt is a product of practice, reflection, pilot-testing, feedback, revision, and collaboration. It carries with it the experiences of the people who helped test it, facilitate it, critique it, and improve it.โ€

Beginning in 2027, PCW plans to roll out the module to local government units and Philippine National Police offices nationwide. The rollout will also support the development of a pool of trainers equipped to facilitate meaningful conversations on gender, accountability, empathy, and behavioral change among offenders.

A digital copy of the Training Guide for GSS for Perpetrators of the SSA will soon be made available through the PCW Digital GAD Library. As co-chair of the Inter-Agency Oversight Committee on the Safe Spaces Act, PCW continues to work with partner agencies to strengthen the implementation of the law and promote coordinated and gender-responsive interventions.

Alam nโ€™yo ba na sa ilalim ng Article 266-C ng Revised Penal Code, maaaring mawala ang criminal liability ng offender kapag pinakasalan niya ang biktima o kapag pinatawad ng biktimang asawa ang kanyang asawang gumawa ng marital r**e? Ito ang tinatawag na โ€œforgiveness clause.โ€

Ang pagpapawalang-bisa sa Article 266-C ay matagal nang isinusulong ng PCW bilang bahagi ng ating Womenโ€™s Priority Legislative Agenda. Kaya naman, malugod na sinusuportahan ng PCW ang paghahain ng House Bill No. 10099, na naglalayong ipawalang-bisa ang naturang probisyon.

Dahil walang kasal na dapat maging kapalit ng hustisya, at walang kapatawarang dapat magbura ng pananagutan.

Sama-sama nating itaguyod ang karapatan ng bawat isa sa hustisya at pananagutan.
