The Saint Michael’s College of Laguna Golden Z and Z Clubs, Philippines, spearheaded the A Safe Space Begins with Me webinar to culminate the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. The engaging webinar had almost 500 live viewers on Facebook and over 200 attendees on Zoom.

Attorney Terese Tra Aquino, a senior partner at Estrada Aquino Law, did a comprehensive and insightful lecture during culminating activity observing the club’s 18-day campaign against violence against women and children. Terese discussed online sexual harassment, cyberbullying, voyeurism and child pornography and the legal repercussions of such crimes.

The virtual participants took a pledge of support to stand with women and girls worldwide and take action to end gender-based violence.

The webinar was created in partnership with the Zonta Club of Laguna and the participation of Z and Golden Z clubs from other schools.

The clubs also chartered inclusive local and international webinars, social media campaigns, virtual assemblies, shared informative videos and more to advocate ending violence against women.
