Fighting Against Violence: Three laws that can be their shield

The Philippines has a significant legal measures in protecting women and children; Against violence, abuse, and harassment. Anti-VAWCY or Anti-Violence Against Women and Children is originated in Republic Act 9262, which tackles about addressing physical, emotional, sexual, and economic abuse against women and children within domestic relationships. The government emphasizes the protection of these vulnerable individuals from any harm, and also holding offenders responsible.

Republic Act of 8353 or also known as the Anti-Rape Law of 1997. A crime against a person highlights their dignity and rights. It now includes not only forced sexual intercourse but also sexual assault. It is a public offense and a crime. This law emphasizes how important consent is, clearly, threats, if the victim cannot think clearly and they used force on the victim, there is no consent at all. In this law, Marital Rape is included, even if you two are married that doesn't mean that you own them and that doesn't mean that you can do anything to them, even if married, consent is still required. Republic Act of 8353 intends to protect people especially children and women, from violence or any harm such as sexual assault. This law ensures that the offenders will be responsible for their actions.

Republic Act No. 7877 also known as the Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995, this law protects people from sexual harassment in schools, workplaces or any other setting. Sexual Harassment is defined as an action, verbal, and other things that make a person uncomfortable. This law applies when the person committing the harassment has power, influence, and authority over the victim. This ensures the safe places for every one of us living in this country. This also ensures that the offender will take full responsibility for his/her actions.

Together, these are strong laws that can combat the violence and harassment of women and children. These laws can be the voice of these vulnerable individuals, and be their protection against offenders. They expand and impose strict penalties on definitions by addressing abuse in various events to protect human rights and ensure justice. This legal foundation continues evolving with society's growing understanding and commitment to eliminating such gender-based violence.

A Glimpse of the Journey of an STE Student

There are a lot of questions that are running through my head since the day that I took the exam for ICT, like "Did I do better this quarter?". Did I? Well, the lessons were not hard, and I enjoyed them, from the activities to the test. It's been months since we started learning about second-quarter lessons; From HTML Tags to Framesets. I've learned a lot since that day, and I'm willing to learn more not only about coding but all lessons about ICT. We still do blogs but we're more on coding this quarter and I enjoyed it so much. Maybe because I'm into electronics? I gained a lot of knowledge during the second quarter, and one of the things that I learned is 'How HTML Tags work'.

Moreover, within the second-quarter journey, I've experienced a lot; From learning from my classmates to teaching them. Second-quarter still has some rocky roads and blurry direction but I made it. I learned that HTML acts as the backbone of web pages, with a pair of tags like <html></html> , <head></head> , and a <body></body> for making the structure of the document more organized and clean. Each HTML Tags that we used for coding has a specific purpose, such as, for bold, for italicize, for emphasis, for paragraph and many other more. This understanding allowed me to see how tags simply work together to form a structure of a website and it made me realize how important unity is because without the presence of a single tag or a single symbol, the website won't function. In addition, attributes are essential too, because without the attributes the webpage won't be good. Attributes like href in <a> tags or src in <img> enabled me to incorporate links and images effectively.

Lastly, learning about the coding not only expanded my knowledge about technology but also nurtured my creativity in designing a webpage. Writing a clean and a well-structured code became my priority because without the presence of a single symbol or a tag could ruin the whole output. Our lesson in ICT this quarter emphasizes how essential patience and discipline are.
