“Violence against women in the Philippines: barriers to seeking support”
With the pandemic further threatening women's safety, the priority is ensuring functional, responsive, and
accessible VAW responses that are survivor-centered and trauma-informed. Community-based first responders
should still be reachable during quarantine. Healthcare providers must be trained for selective enquiry and first-line
support of survivors. Referral pathways should be simplified to expedite care and assistance: upon identification of
victims, a blanket referral to sexual and reproductive health providers, psychiatric aid, legal assistance, protective
shelters, and livelihood assistance can be made. Establishing an active, centralized VAW surveillance system must
take into consideration mobility under community restrictions. More accessible communication channels, like social
media, must be made available and maximized. Marginalized women should be included in surveillance and
protected in legislation, and VAW survivors should be consulted to improve service delivery.
Organizing women, educating them of their rights, promoting rights to pleasure and safety, and encouraging help-
seeking behaviors while changing policies that increase vulnerability to VAW will foster women empowerment.
Ensuring full implementation of the Magna Carta of Women is imperative in eliminating discrimination. This includes
changing gender bias norms, non-discriminatory employment, leave benefits, equal opportunity for education and
training, increased information access, and more women in leadership roles to advocate policy reform. Women
prefer getting help from their community, hence community-based reporting and response systems should be
strengthened in conjunction with bystander education to change sociocultural norms that condone VAW. Ultimately,
institutional cultures perpetuating VAW must be tackled with interdisciplinary and intersectoral social and public
health interventions, and the community must work hand-in-hand with an accountable government to end VAW in
the Philippines.
Direction: Answer directly the following questions.
1. What are the different ways and means mentioned in the

article that will foster women empowerment?
2. How to advocate against gender violence in community?

4. What are the reasons for the survivors of gender-based
violence may feel hesitant to report this human rights
violation?
5.What do you think now the effects of gender-based
violence on survivors?
1. What do you call a type of writing summarizes and
evaluates a piece of work?
