Sarmiento explained that the fun run was chosen as a unifying platform for PSU to create awareness and contribute to the campaign against VAWC.
The two-day event also included educational components such as teaching students about Gender and Development (GAD), GAD language, and seminars to end VAWC.
In addition to the fun run, volunteerism activities will continue for another month.
