● The CHED Memo, no. 1 is a set of rules and guidelines for the implementation of
the Gender and Development (GAD) focus area in all areas of the CHED's
activities, including but not limited to the programs, policies, and activities being
conducted by the Commission. This memo is an important step in the right
direction for the country, especially for women. It is a good way to address issues
that have been overlooked for too long, such as gender inequality in education
and the lack of access to resources for women. This memo will help make sure
that these issues are addressed and that our country can be more inclusive for
everyone.

○ The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is
a UN body that aims to address and prevent discrimination against women. It
stated that women are often subjected to violence, including sexual violence and
harassment. Many women are also subject to forced marriages or domestic
servitude. CEDAW recommends that governments recognize these problems
and implement policies that address them—from passing laws prohibiting
violence against women and establishing shelters for victims of abuse to
providing care for survivors of sexual assault.
