Rationale of the Project:

Republic Act 9710 or the Magna Carta of Women seeks to eliminate

discrimination against women by recognizing, protecting, fulfilling and promoting the
rights of the Filipino Women. These rights include all rights in the Philippine
Constitution and those rights recognized under the international instruments signed
and ratified by the Philippine Government. Among these rights are participation and
representation, equal treatment before the law, equal access and elimination of
discrimination against women in education, scholarships and training, nondiscrimination in employment in the field of military, police, and other similar
services (security services). DSWD also advocates women empowerment and gender
sensitivity. According to VMA Global College, the only accredited Security Training
Institute in Negros Occidental, there is a great demand for female security personnel in
Negros Occidental and other provinces in Region VI and outside the region but a limited
supply for this human resources because most of the security trainees who gain license
were men. In support with the RA 9710, DSWD advocacy and a demand for female
security personnel or lady guards, thus this project been proposed.
Enhancing individual skills of Pantawid Pamilya women by providing quality
training that will help them to learn and carry out expertise in terms of Security
Services Training will help them motivate their learning skills and develop sources of
financing that will uplift their status of well-being.
Through quality livelihood skills training the poor and needy individuals especially
the non-working and out-of-school women of Pantawid Pamilya become productive and
financially independent.
This project will benefit twenty five (25) non-working and out of school women of
Pantawid Pamilya Members/Beneficiaries of City of Himamaylan where we have a
large pool of qualified participants for the Security Services Training.
After the training program, participants will be facilitated for employment through
the Industry partners for local employment and abroad thus meeting the objectives of
the project.
