MANILA, Philippines — The Center for Global Best Practices will hold an online training titled “Gender and Development Training Compliance: The Law and IRR of the Safe Spaces Act” on Dec. 2, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., via Zoom.

This training will discuss all aspects of Republic Act 11313 or the Safe Spaces Act and its IRR, including actions punishable under this law, liabilities of individuals and institutions, development of a code of conduct, investigation mechanisms, preventive measures, remedies, and valuable advice to keep workers protected as envisioned in this law.

Those in the public sector are mandated to align their HR policies and code of conduct and to implement RA 11313 in all government institutions. This is applicable to national government agencies, government instrumentalities, GOCCs, SUCs, LUCs, GFIs and LGUs.

It is also a must for developers, owners, or administrators of a property with public access to create policies against gender-based sexual harassment (GBSH).

Security agencies and guards are required to undergo training on Safe Spaces Act in handling GBSH cases to be able to renew business permits and licenses. All educational and training institutions are also required to implement this law.

This training will feature Dot Gancayco, a multi-awarded lawyer, radio-TV host and women’s and children’s rights advocate. She hosts the public Service show “Serbisyong Kasambahay” and is a legal consultant to different radio and TV shows.
