The Philippine Women Judges Association (PWJA) will open today its 20th Annual Convention-Seminar alongside the Regional Conference of the Asia-Pacific Region of the International Association of Women Judges’ (IAWJ) at the Taal Vista Hotel in Tagaytay City with the theme: “Protecting The Rights of Women and Children Across the Asia Pacific Region.”
Supreme Court Associate Justice Teresita J. Leonardo-De Castro, concurrent president of the PWJA and the IAWJ will welcome delegates to the three-day twin event that will end Friday, May 15, 2015.

Chief Justice Maria Lourdes P.A. Sereno will give an inspirational talk while Senator Grace Poe Llamanzares will be the guest speaker.

Topics for plenary sessions are: Trafficking of Persons, Protection Orders (Anti-Violence Against Women and Children), The Filipino Children in Conflict with the Law and Court Diversion, Cybercrimes on Women and Children and Anti-Voyeurism Law, and Child Custody Border issue.

The panelists are women judges from the Philippines, Taiwan, India, New Zealand, Canada, and Singapore. Joan D. Winship, executive director of the IAWJ will lead the foreign participants.

The PWJA was founded by retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Ameurfina A. Melencio Herrera on September 5, 1987. Since then, the PWJA has gained recognition in the international legal community as an effective advocate on the protection of the rights of women and children.

The PWJA, under the leadership of Justice De Castro, has been tapped by international institutions to contribute to the enrichment of the discussions by judges, lawyers, and legal experts from different countries on women’s rights, gender equality, and judicial administration.

SHARING OF BEST PRACTICES

Every year, the officers and members of the PWJA get the chance to share their knowledge and establish linkages with the members of the IAWJ. The PWJA has been invited to participate in international fora to promote the protection of the rights of women and children around the world and advance the improvement of the administration of justice through knowledge sharing and best practices.

The PWJA has remained true to its objectives of: providing the platform for the exchange of views and information among women judges in the Philippines and in other countries; promoting the welfare of women judges in the Philippines; improving the administration of justice toward the efficient management of courts and court dockets; providing a continuing legal education for its members; and, initiating and undertaking judicial reforms.

The Supreme Court has institutionalized the recommendation of the PWJA to computerize all courts, upgrade office equipment and court structures, provide steady and adequate supplies, and increase the benefits of court personnel.

Through the years, the PWJA has grown into a strong association of 752 exemplary women judges dedicated to their sacred and sworn duty to do justice to every person at all times.
