In observance of the 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women from November 25 to December 12, the Civil Service Commission (CSC), the central personnel institution of the Philippine Government, called on government agencies to do their share in ending violence against women (VAW) in the workplace.
“It is imperative that workplaces are kept fair, safe, and secure for women as it is where most employed women spend at least one-third of their day. This is specially critical in the public sector where half of the workforce is composed of women,” said CSC Chairperson Alicia dela Rosa-Bala.
Based on the CSC’s Inventory of Government Human Resources as of 31 May 2019, of the total 1,728,641 officials and employees in the career and non-career service, 879,524 or 50.88% are females while 849,117 or 49.12% are males.
She said that VAW impacts on the physical, mental, economic, and social well-being, and when women in public service become the victims, it can hamper productivity and the quality of public services.
