The Right to be Different and Free

The Republic Act 9710 or Gender and Development (GAD) is for both men and women. It is concerned to both men and women and their roles, relationships, and expectations in the society. It is also to promote gender equality.

On the other hand, the RA 9262 or the Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children (VAWC) is for the protection of women and their children. Those men who will abuse and disrespect women and their children will receive a punishment. This includes physical violence, psychological violence, economic abuse, and threats.

These laws aims to promote human rights and protect every human in the society. It can also help the society accept gender differences that will make the economy better.
