The researchers chosen this study to focus on women who experienced violence at Barangay Lagro

Quezon City. It’s devastating to know that 1 out of 3 women globally experienced violence based on the

World Health Organization (WHO). R.A no. 9269, An act defining violence against women and their

children. Providing for protective measures for victims, prescribing penalties. Therefore, and for other

the common violence that they experienced, For us to come up to an accurate conclusions and good

recommendations that can help them (the victims) and also the Barangay that they are in.

The descriptive design and a situational approach were employed by the researchers. Researchers employ
the descriptive technique as their design while looking for knowledge regarding the conditions that are

currently in place.

The researcher wants to use this approach to evaluate how much violence affects victims' daily life. Both

the barangay officials who evaluated the victims and several women who had experienced violence were

interviewed by the researchers. Additionally, the victims provided their consent to the researchers.

particularly women and children, from violence and threats to their personal safety and security. Under
this law, the state also recognizes the need to protect the family and its members, particularly women and
children, from violence and threats to their personal safety and security

VAWC cases during the first half of this year. The ordinance hopes to eradicate the number of VAWC

programs, and the elimination of any forms of discrimination on children and women. Talabucon, (2017).

Lillian Comas-Díaz &Mary A. Jansen(18 Nov 2017) Global and local conflicts often emerge due to
sociopolitical changes. Many of these changes entail negative consequences to women, usually in the
form of violence against them. This article describes some of the oppressive conditions of women living
in technologically underdeveloped and developed countries, as well as in war and state-sponsored
violence areas. Special attention is also given to the gender-specific violence experienced by refugee
women. A review of women's reactions to oppression and violence suggests that many cope with their
grief through creative transformation. Women's resistance movements and their contributions to the
liberation and peace process embody female forms of empowerment. This article discusses feminine
movements such as las madres (mothers), campesinas (peasants), Amazonas (Amazons), and arpilleras
(women who make arpilleras--cloth pictures) as examples of female empowerment in the midst of
violence. We conclude that women's resistance against violence has altered our discourse of culture,
gender, and politics.

Lancet Reg Health West Pac. 2022 Jun; 23: 100471. Published online (2022 May 3) The Philippines is
among one of the most gender-equal countries in the Western Pacific region.1 Nevertheless, it is evident
that the sociocultural landscape lags behind: one in four Filipino women has experienced gender-based
violence, and 41% of victims do not seek help.2 Despite existing laws and a widespread local anti-
violence against women (VAW) movement, multiple barriers to help-seeking exist, and it is ultimately
the economic, sociopolitical and cultural structures in the Philippines hindering VAW victims from
seeking support. Like in other Asian countries, Filipino women are stifled by a patriarchal society
emphasizing male dominance in family structures and larger social institutions.3 Traditionally, Filipino
men are household heads and breadwinners; women are deemed subservient, hence economic abuse is
common in VAW cases,4 and a high acceptance of justified wife beating exists.2 Women's pleasures are
considered objects to pursue or control, hence they are regarded as a vulnerability. Few women seek help
because of expectations to be self-sacrificing, thus giving up safety and security in favor of family
reputation. Defying gender norms invites objectification, shame, guilt, and even justification of violence,
hence the culture of victim-blaming.

According to the study of Bernarte., et al. (2018), there are factors that affect people’s perceptions
such as personal experience, tradition and culture, socioeconomic status in the society, and the basic
differences of gender. Women are considered a marginalized group of people where they adapt and
accept perceptions of powerful groups that bring change in their viewpoint. The factors are important
to the study to support the claim that there are attributing factors why violence against women occurs
and it is a continuous societal issue in the Philippines. Tanyag (2018) on women’s role during post-
disaster displacement found that women are expected to adjust and sacrifice their own needs for
those of the family, community, and state. The unpaid care work they provide is expected to adapt to
the situation and is even necessary for the survival and recovery of the community. This feminization
of care validates and maintains the cultural stereotype of self-sacrificial and altruistic behavior
expected from women and girls. The silent and non-complaining ideal of a Filipino woman is one of
the reasons Filipino women are model domestic and care workers all around the world. In fact, this
sacrificial and altruistic stereotype of Filipino women is what supports household and national
economies (Tanyag, 2018). The 2017 National Demographic and Health Survey conducted by the
Philippine Statistics Authority, one in four Filipino women age 15-49 has experienced physical,
emotional or sexual violence by their husband or partner. It is indeed alarming that despite efforts to
address the concern, VAW persists. According to Republic Act 9262 or the Anti-Violence Against
Women and their Children Act of 2004, VAW is “any act or a series of acts committed by any person
against a woman who is his wife, former wife, or against a woman with whom the person has or had
a sexual or dating relationship, or with whom he has a common child, or against her child whether
legitimate or illegitimate, with or without the family abode, which result in or is likely to result in
physical, sexual, psychological harm or suffering, or economic abuse including threats of such acts,
battery, assault, coercion, harassment or arbitrary deprivation of liberty. “The Philippine National
Police (PNP) cited that Functional VAWC (Violence Against Women and Children) desks in
barangays are an essential support system to help women survivors of violence and abuse. Barangay
VAW Desk should be functional so that immediate response would be given to women and children
who were victims of violence. More often in far-flung barangays, victims find a hard time to report to
the PNP but with the functional VAWC desk, anytime and at any place there will be local authorities
where victims can take refuge or seek immediate assistance. Barangay officials in making the said
desk functional with competent members, proper facilities and enough budget allocation to support
the victims. The PNP encouraged the survivors to report cases of violence and abuses. Assured that
the PNP Women and Children Desk and other stakeholders are willing to help them. Mabaquiao,

Foreign

According to Lori Heise (2018) Violence against women: the missing agenda, Violence against women is
the most pervasive yet least recognized human rights abuse in the world. The most endemic form of
violence against women is wife abuse, or more accurately, abuse of women by intimate male partners.
Data from developing countries also highlight a link between violence and health. On the Indian
subcontinent, tradition has combined with greed to forge a particularly deadly form of wife abuse known
locally as''bride burning''or''dowry deaths.''Due to the stigma and shame associated with rape, sexual
assault may be one of the most under reported crimes. The health care system is the only institution that
all women are likely to interact with sometime in their lives. Thus it is particularly well placed to identify
and assist victims of violence. Historically, the international health community has been interested in
women only as a means to an end, such as controlling population growth or saving children's lives—
rather than as human beings with independent needs

García-Moreno et al.(2018) in the multicenter study referred to earlier mostly focused on intimate partner
violence and its impact on mental health, reported as emotional distress as a part of different dimension of
health.

New Delhi, 25 Nov 2021: On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women
(EVAW), the United Nations in Afghanistan has called for concrete actions to end violence against
women. Gender-based violence continues to be a serious threat to women and girls and a major obstacle
to achieving lasting sustainable development and peace. Referred to as a ’shadow pandemic’, violence
against women has been worsened by the Covid-19 pandemic and the humanitarian crisis. Globally, one
in three women have experienced physical or sexual violence, mostly by an intimate partner. Afghanistan
has one of the highest rates of violence against women globally, with nine out of 10 women experiencing
at least one form of intimate partner violence in their lifetime. "We must act together to tackle this
shadow pandemic. The violence should be prevented, we must change attitudes that shame survivors and
support violence, we must support services for survivors," said Deborah Lyons, Special Representative of
the Secretary-General in Afghanistan.

Tazeen S Ali, Gunilla Krantz, and Ingrid Mogren(2018 Nov 2) Violence against women is a major public
health issue throughout the world. Violence against women in the form of physical, sexual, or
psychological violence and abuse is more commonly seen in countries where the level of gender equality
is comparatively low, traditional gender roles are practiced, and communities have high unemployment
rates and low social cohesion. In some countries, interventions have been implemented to control
violence, for example, by creating awareness among community organizations for violence against
women and human rights.Measures need to be taken to address social norms and behaviors among men
who practice violence against their female partners; however, few studies report on such
interventions.Furthermore, there is a lack of available legal frameworks to protect women from such
violations. Qualitative studies globally present an indepth understanding of marital violence towards
women, and its negative health consequences.The consequences vary depending on the level of gender
equality, masculinity norms, and other cultural norms, as well as socioeconomic development. Violence
against women may stay unacknowledged because women either interpret the violence inflicted on them
as a part of normal daily life or they do not know where to seek help. Women may also hide exposure to
violence due to social stigma. Globally, violence against women also prevents women from taking equal
part in economic and social life, and as a consequence, comparatively few women hold decision-making
positions in society. Pakistani women are expected to rear children, perform domestic work, be
submissive, and obey the husband and his family, and it is common for husbands and in-laws in Pakistan
to restrict women’s reproductive autonomy and limit their rights and decision-making power.Better
educated women are in a better position, given that it is more likely that they have a professional career,
but such privileged women form a small minority of all women living in Pakistan.
