History

In late 2010, a group of 5 women who had taken part in the barangay election of barangay congress 173 decided they needed to do more than just listen to speeches of newly elected officials about VAWC issues in the society. They felt what was needed was a women’s group able to campaign for gender equality in a coherent and consistent way, basing its arguments on research and a thorough understanding of the issues.

We officially came into being on December 10, 2010.
