The Pampanga Peace and Order Council, through the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) and in partnership with DILG Pampanga, successfully conducted Batch 1 of GADRISE: Gender and Development for a Resilient, Inclusive, and Sustainable Empowerment on April 3, 2025, at the Benigno Aquino Hall, Capitol Compound, City of San Fernando, Pampanga.


This activity capacitated Barangay VAW Desk Officers and Barangay Officials, enhancing their skills and knowledge in handling cases of Violence Against Women and their Children (VAWC) and human trafficking in their localities. It also served as a venue for a refresher on the provisions of laws protecting vulnerable sectors, particularly women and children.


GADRISE is one of our key initiatives aimed at fostering gender-sensitive and equitable communities, driving social transformation anchored in the principles of resilience, inclusivity, and sustainability.
