Through DepEd Memorandum No. 265 series of 2011, Education Secretary Armin Luistro has urged all Bureau and Regional Directors, Schools Division and City Superintendents and heads of public and private elementary and secondary schools to participate in the campaign. “The campaign focuses on information dissemination about VAW, especially the service of government agencies and NGOs to address the needs of VAW victims and survivors,” Luistro said. “It also highlights the worldwide call to end VAW,” he added."
