Nursing mothers gather and chat inside a women-friendly space in New Bataan, Compostela Valley Province. A women-friendly space is a designated corner inside an evacuation center or a relocation site that provides internally-displaced persons or disaster victims with a safe ‘space’ to meet, talk and be provided with the much needed psycho-social support. It is open to all pregnant mothers, nursing mothers, senior citizens and persons with disability. DSWD
