A Nation United Against Violence: The 18-Day Campaign and the Power of Law The 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women, observed annually from November 25th to December 12th, is a crucial period for raising awareness, promoting action, and advocating for justice for women and children in the Philippines.
