UN WOMEN - Preventing Violent Extremism and Countering Online Hate-Speech through Women’s Empowerment in PH and BARMM This programme is designed to support women, youth, and gender equality advocates to prevent violent extremism and hate-speech in the Philippines with a focus on the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), to ensure that women are empowered to promote peace, security, and resilience in their communities, both on- and offline.  This initiative is targeted to benefit Moro and Indigenous women and communities from the BARMM, youth, women civil society leaders and gender equality advocates, while facilitating dialogue and strengthening mechanisms for engagement with key government partners at the country and regional level, including from Local Government Units (LGUs).
