As part of the Philippines’ annual 18-day campaign to end Violence Against Women (VAW), the Philippine Embassy—together with the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) and Austrian-based organization LEFÖ—announced a hybrid seminar aimed at helping Filipinos identify and prevent domestic abuse, especially in the context of migration and marriage.
The event, titled “Migrating for Love and Avoiding the Pitfalls,” is open to all married Filipinos and those preparing for marriage who reside in Austria, Croatia, Slovenia, and the Slovak Republic. It will take place on 25 November 2025 (Tuesday) from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Participants may attend in person at the Philippine Embassy or join online via Zoom.
According to the Embassy, the seminar will cover crucial topics such as recognizing early signs of domestic abuse, understanding one’s rights while living abroad, and knowing where to seek help in cases of violence or coercion. Organizers emphasized that empowering Filipinos with this knowledge is vital for their safety and well-being, particularly for those navigating new relationships or living far from home.
