DISCUSSIONS

Activity/Agenda Discussion /Highlights Action Points/Recommendations

I. Preliminaries: Opening prayer Introduction of participants

facilitated by Ms. Farida T. Mangcaan

II. Opening message Asec. Kader recalled the response on the first outbreak of Marawi crisis and how the interventions were sustained. She also put emphasis on the preparations and plans for the welfare of the children.

III. Presentation of Activity Objectives by Aisha Olowan from CSWD Marawi

Reflect on the completion of tools and the results achieved by the members of the Joint RCPGBV Working Group in the Marawi Conflict response.

Identify challenges, gaps, and find solutions in the Joint RCPGBV Working Group Marawi Conflict response.

Draw the lessons learned to improve results and future responses by providing recommendations for contingency planning.

Improve coordination and communication between and among CP and GBV partners, protection, and other existing cluster and the Task Force Bangon Marawi.

IV. Presentation of Core CPiE Programming and Review the Core Commitments for children in Humanitarian Action

CPiE

Ms. Rohannie Baraguir of UNICEF showed a video clip on that depict what children protection in emergencies is. Among the identified CP concerns are:

1. fear amongst the children 2. family separation 3. child exploitation 4. vulnerability risk of children to trafficking

UNICEF to provide an e-copy of Minimum Standards(26) in CPiE on January 2017 via e-mail and to facilitate in-depth orientation/discussion of the Minimum Standards should the WGs recommend so.


She also highlighted the impact of emergencies on child protection:

1. new risks and threats to children (early marriages, gender-based violence, and grave child right’s violation)

2. existing risks and treats are exacerbated

In the context of Marawi crisis, about 98% of Marawi City is devastated while Physical structures are damaged

She also underscored the relationship of the core areas of CPiE programming to the Core Commitments for Children. Some of the cited are:

1. Prevention of and response to physical harm including landmines/explosive remnants of war (ERW) (Standard 7/CCC 8).

2. Recruitment and use of children by armed forces or armed groups (CAAFAG) Standard 11/CCC 7).

3. Monitoring and reporting response to unaccompanied, separated, and orphaned children

Conclusion: 1. CP is one of the areas of responsibility of

protection cluster 2. CPiE is recognized as key life-saving sector in

humanitarian actions 3. CPiE is a complex sector encompassing a variety

of humanitarian interventions 4. Interventions not only address specific risks


GBViE Ms, Ana Dizon of UNFPA shared the Minimum

Standards for Prevention and Response to GBViE:

He also highlighted the documented child protection cases and concerns that were captured by the working group- 25 cases of UASC/Orphaned children, 30 children with special needs, and 6 survivors of sexual violence.

Emphasis was also given to the creation of the

Referral Pathway which was disseminated in the various ECs and other strategic places in the communities.

GBV Ms. Ana Dizon shared that there were 16 Women

Friendly Spaces established in the different ECs that are utilized by the women facilitators who were also given training and handed with culturally-appropriate dignity kits and other essential supplies.

Information sessions on GBC prevention and response were also facilitated reaching 17, 064 women and girls and 5, 770 men and boys.

Privacy partitions and modified mosquito/privacy nets were also distributed in the ECs and home-based sites


Active monitoring also of GBV cases is ongoing which

resulted to identification of intimate partner violence, rape/sexual violence of minor, and early marriages. (*These cases were identified in the four municipalities (Balo-I, Pantar, Pantao Ragat & Saguiaran) covered by the CERF-funded response)

The groups have identified the lessons learned and gaps with corresponding recommendations which they have presented to the body.

Reporting of the PSS activities was emphasized.

Asec. Kader shared the agreement between DSWD and DRRM wherein theDSWD will consolidate and issue the official data concerning this since MHPSS is under the protection cluster which is led by DSWD.

CP-GBVWG to coordinate and reconcile data with MHPSS cluster and Education cluster to minimize if not eradicate cases of inconsistent data.

Asec. Kader also recommended PSS programs to be sustained but have the data synchronized.

Ms. Mitch Cajayon-Uy recommended the WGs members to coordinate with the LGUs since they are also willing to support PSS activities.

VII. Workshop 2: Discussion of Joint CP-GBV Response Strategy (support for ECs/Host communities/Returned areas)

*Please see Annex 1 for the Workshop 2 outputs. With reference to the Workshop 1 output, the groups

have developed common/generic key response strategies.

Ms. Aeriel Ann Gonzales from CWC shared that the

NCPWG had developed a training manual for R.A. 10821 and Minimum Standards for Child Protection that will be rolled out to the 17 Regions from 2018-2019 wherein ARMM is a priority.

expansion, or turnover

The secretariat of Joint CP-GBVWG has the list of the CP issues and gender-based cases which are kept highly confidential.

Ms. Rohannie clarified that CFS/WFS in the ECs or home-based communities are not necessarily a standing structure. However, there was no CFS/WFS installed yet in the returned areas.

Transition process shall be included in the TOR of the JRCP-GBVWG.

Asec. Kader recommended that the data transition must be thoroughly discussed first. For the meantime, the secretariat shall safe keep the data, the same way that CFS/WFS must be maintained.

Joint CP-GBVWG to come up with a response

strategy document that will also include the transition plan.
