on the current issues of violence on women and children symbolized through four
pressing areas – Economic, Physical, Psychological and Sexual.

DILG R03’s star-shaped lantern depicted these four areas wherein an abstract of
“Madonna and Child” is intricately designed at the center, alongside a blind-folded wom-
an, which symbolizes Sexual Abuse; a gun with a crying woman inside implying Physical
Abuse; a hand-cuffed wrist holding crumpled money embodying Economic Abuse; and a
