At the lobby of the Philippine Center, a strategic place has been devoted as an Anti-VAW landmark to increase public awareness on the 18-day campaign, which runs from 25 November to 12 December.  With the theme, “VAW-free Community Starts With Me,” the goal is to engender a culture of accountability in fighting all forms of violence against women.
