MANILA, Philippines — The House of Representatives on Monday unanimously gave its approval to a bill protecting women and children from all forms of electronic violence. The chamber voted 207-0 to approve on third and final reading House Bill No. 8655 or the “Expanded Anti-Violence Against Women and Children (E-VAWC)” bill that seeks to amend Republic Act No. “We urge the Senate to do its part and fast-track the counterpart measure amending the Anti-VAWC Act. If signed into law, this will be a very valuable legacy of the 17th Congress to women long suffering from all kinds of abuse and harassment,” Brosas said.
