Among those identified by the Department are the efforts and initiatives employed
by the local government units (LGUs) during the COVID-19 Pandemic through the
Barangay Violence Against Women (VAW) Desk and the Barangay Council for the
Protection of Children (BCPC). These local mechanisms perform crucial roles and
functions in addressing possible cases of abuse among women and children.

Barangay VAW Desk and BCPC during the community quarantine. The Department
and the Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC) also issued Joint Memorandum
Circular No. 2020-001 to reiterate the roles of LGUs in reaching out to children,
including those in street situationg in need of special protection, at risk and in
conflict with the law during the community quarantine.

of Local Govemment are advised to submit to the National Barangay Operations
Office (NBOO), the number of violence against women (VAW) and violence against
children (VAC) cases reported to the barangay.
