What is W.I.P.D.?

We see them all  the time in newspaper and television headlines.

News leads such as "Robber shoots lady who refused to give up laptop", "Women seriously hurt in holdup try in Manila,  or "29-year old woman falls prey to taxi robbery gang" have become staples in our media. At times, the public feels numb, accepting this as part of our day-to-day lives.

TaskForce W.I.P.D refuses to go numb. We want something done. Our goal is to make sure Filipino women are informed, protected and defended.

Our creative problem is: IN WHAT WAYS MIGHT I HELP WOMEN IN QUEZON CITY BE SECURE WHEN TRAVELING LATE?

We decided to focus on Quezon City as we cannot cover all of Manila. Specifically, W.I.P.D. picked Eastwood City as our area of focus. Eastwood City is a place teeming with people, especially professionals working in BPOs who travel late because of grave yard shift and students and yuppies who troop to Eastwood to have  a good time. 

W.I.P.D. aims to fulfill a two-fold plan: to create a campaign to inform women on how they can better protect themselves and to create a service to lessen crimes committed against women.
