PCW, PNP: Only 1 in 10 cases of violence vs women gets reported
The Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) highlighted that reporting cases of violence against women remains a significant challenge in the Philippines.
PCW chairperson Ermelita Valdeavilla stated that many incidents of violence against women are kept within the family, with only one in ten cases reported to the Philippine National Police.
Valdeavilla explained that victims often hesitate to report due to shame, lack of trust in authorities, or uncertainty about the process and potential outcomes.
She emphasized the need for improved reporting mechanisms and public intervention protocols for incidents of violence against women.
