Through the children & women development and social services program, NASSA addresses the following concerns of the children and women in the country: lack of basic education due to poverty, exposure to violence and unsafe environment brought about by development aggression, militarization and high urban poor population.
The program strengthens social service delivery through the enhancement of information and education campaign (IEC) activities on children's and women's rights; creation of development programs that promotes gender sensitivity within and among BECs, organization of abused/street children, provision of legal services, and technical assistance in education, heal and nutrition initiatives; and formation of social policy development/advocacy through the consultation/conferences, and collaboration with various private institutions and government agencies implementing women- and child-friendly laws and ordinances in the provincial, municipal and barangay levels. |
