Feature| Women and Sexual Harassment: Shedding Some Light in Quezon City

We all are aware of this issue but most of time it is treated with silence or the shrug of the shoulders. To commemorate International Women’s Day (#IWD2016) and the Month of March as the National Women's Month, two events were held by the LGU and United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (UN Women).

Based on the study "How Safe are women in our city streets" which was conducted by the Quezon City Local Government and by UN Women, 3 out of 5 women have experienced a form of sexual harassment while commuting in Metro Manila.
