Tisya Hustisya – Maaari ka bang mag-file ng VAWC case kung babae din ang iyong partner/kinakasama?

Ito ang sagot ni Tisya!

R.A. 9262: Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004
SECTION 3. Definition of Terms. – As used in this Act,
(a) “Violence against women and their children” refers to any act or a series of acts committed by any person against a woman who is his wife, former wife, or against a woman with whom the person has or had a sexual or dating relationship.

OPO. Base sa nakasaad sa SECTION 3. Definition of Terms, ginamit ang salitang person (walang nakasaad na kasarian), kung kaya’t kahit na babae ang iyong kinakasama/partner ay maaari mo pa rin siyang sampahan ng kaso sa ilalim ng VAWC kung siya ay may sala.
