Trani 01:29 PM, Jul 18, 2022

Hi! I would like to request the data on violence against women on the time period of June 15, 2018 to June 15, 2022. I plan to research if the pandemic has affected the numbers of women that are victims to domestic violence. I plan to compare the 2 years before the pandemic and the 2+ years of the pandemic that we are continuously experiencing. Thank you.

Your Request

Data on Violence Against Women


Response to Request

We are sending you the latest data on the reported VAWC cases, which is from 2018 until 2021 only, as provided by the Philippine National Police. Kindly see attachment in this reply for the file we have acquired from the mentioned agency.


In the Philippines, Republic Act 9262 or the Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act of 2004 penalizes domestic violence against women and their children. The law covers physical, psychological, sexual, and economic abuses committed by intimate partners.


As of now, PNP is the only source of data on national incidence of violence against women having a well established reporting system through their Crime Information Reporting and Analysis System (CIRAS). This electronic system is fully operational in all police stations and community precincts in the country.


Please ensure proper citation and you may also email the PNP Women and Children Protection Center at omd.wcpc@pnp.gov.ph and statistics.wcpc@yahoo.com.ph for further assistance on data and analysis concerns.


As an additional data source, please also check the webpage of the Philippine Statistics Authority where the Annual Statistical Fact Sheets on Women and Men in the Philippines, which among others, contain VAW data, has been proactively disclosed: https://psa.gov.ph/gender-stat/wmf.
