Introduction Women back then

1856 In the late 19th Century or the

late 1800’s, Women’s right is not
inclusive or shared to all the pinay
women but only for those who have
money. It is because of the Spaniard’s
influence and ideology that women
shall not rule or have power because
they believe Men are better than
Women.

In the early 20
th

century or the early

1900’s, women were
granted suffrage or the
rights to vote during
American
colonialization.

R.A 9262 or the Anti-Violence against women and their children act of 2004 is
a law that seeks to address the prevalence of violence against women and their
children (VAWC) by their intimate partners like their husband or ex-husband,
live-in partner or former live-in partner, boyfriend/girlfriend or
ex-boyfriend/ex-girlfriend, dating partner or former dating partner.

Violence against women

(VAW) appears as one of the
country’s pervasive social
problems.

According to the
2022 National Demographic and Health Survey
(NDHS)
conducted by the Philippine Statistics
Authority, 17.5% of Filipino women aged 15-49
have experienced any form of physical, sexual,
and emotional violence from their intimate
partners.
 As of 2021, there were 8,399
reported cases of physical violence,
1,791 on rape, and 1,505 on acts of
lasciviousness. It is alarming that
despite addressing the concern, VAW
persists.
