-The Department of Interior and Local Government directed the Philippine National Police to set up Women's and Children's Desks at police stations and at all levels in the country. As of February 2011, 1,829 desks, staffed by 2,977 police officers, 2,957 of which are well-trained female officers, have been made operational in these stations.
-A Joint Memorandum Circular issued on 9 December 2010, by the Department of Interior and Local Government, Department of Social Welfare and Development, Department of Education, Department of Health, and the Philippine Commission on Women, in line with provisions of the Magna Carta of Women provided for the creation of Violence against Women (VAW) Desks in barangays, or villages. The Circular also provides for Barangay Protection Orders for VAW victims and calls for local governments to allocate funds to sustain the VAW Desks. As of 31 October 2011, 26,981 barangays have VAW Desks.
-The Philippine Commission on Women spearheaded the inter-agency development of the Performance Standards and Assessment Tools for Services Addressing VAW, which benchmarks the quality and effectiveness of services provided to VAW victim-survivors, including trafficked victims, ensuring gender-sensitiveness and needs responsiveness. The agencies involved are the Philippine National Police for investigatory services or procedures; Department of Health for medical or hospital- based services; Department of Social Welfare and Development for psychosocial services; Department of Justice for legal/ prosecution services; Department of Interior and Local Government and local government units for anti-VAW services at the barangay, municipal, city and provincial levels.

- Declaring November 25 of every year as National Consciousness Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women;

Para 77) The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao passed its own Gender and Development (GAD) Code on 31 January 2011, taking into account the 2006 CEDAW recommendation for intensified dialogue with Muslim community in order to remove discriminatory provisions from the Code of Muslim Personal Laws, particularly on early marriage, forced marriage and polygamy.
Para 78) The Committee on Gender Responsiveness in the Judiciary, the over-all committee in charge of the GAD Program of the Supreme Court, spearheaded in March 2010 the National Summit on Family Courts, in partnership with the Philippine Judicial Academy and the Philippine Judges Association, with the theme "Strengthening the Multi-Sectorial Framework for the Protection of Family, Women and Children". Participants in the Summit included selected family court judges, clerks of court, interpreters, social workers, prosecutors, representatives from the Public Attorney's Office, the Senate and the House of Representatives, other government agencies, civil society and media. Three areas of concern were addressed, namely: regularization of family courts, codification of rules on women and children, and law reform.
Para 79) The Summit was the culmination of the Regional Conferences conducted in 2008 and 2009 where various sectors comprising and assisting the Philippine Judiciary were consulted to identify problems, explore possible solutions, and develop a workable consensus on how to improve people's access to justice in family courts.
