In the Philippines, abuse against women is handled through law enforcement, legal action, and social services.
Police respond to reports of abuse, document evidence, and may arrest suspects.
Victims can seek protection through temporary or permanent restraining orders issued by courts.
Prosecutors review cases and file charges if evidence supports it, and cases proceed to trial where judges determine guilt or innocence.
Social welfare agencies and NGOs provide counseling, shelter, and support to survivors, while government programs raise awareness and promote women’s rights.
Laws like the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act aim to protect victims and punish offenders.
Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act, or Republic Act No. 9262, is a Philippine law that protects women and their children from all forms of abuse.
It covers physical, s3xual, psychological, and economic violence committed by a spouse, former spouse, partner, or anyone in a domestic relationship.
The law allows victims to seek protection orders, file complaints, and pursue criminal charges against offenders.
It also mandates law enforcement, courts, and social services to assist victims and ensure their safety. Penalties under the law include imprisonment and fines for those found guilty of committing violence.
