VAW: The Unspoken Words is a collection of short films featuring free-verse poetry and images expounding various forms of Violence Against Women or VAW. The collection is intended to become a springboard for discussing the realities and complexities of VAW which to this date, still often go unnoticed, if not trivialized or dismissed. The 2nd set of videos were released by the PCW in 2017, during the 18-Day Campaign to End VAW.
Date Rape depicts a story of a woman who met a potential boyfriend through an online mobile application. As the story progresses, the video reveals that the man, whom the woman has dated for several occasions, drugged the latter and committed the crime of rape. Also highlighted in the story is the culture of victim-blaming which aggravates the difficulties of a victim-survivor.
