The Philippine Statistics Authority revealed that 25% of Filipino women aged 15 to 49 have encountered physical, emotional, or sexual abuse from their spouse or partner. It is concerning that despite attempts to tackle this issue, violence against women continues to exist. In this study, the researchers employed a mixed-method research design to achieve a more complete result. Survey questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were utilized as the primary data-gathering tool. The prevalence of different forms of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) experienced by respondents. Physical violence was reported as the most common form (89.1%), emotional and psychological violence (47.9%), sexual violence (10.9%), and economic violence (13%). Overall, the urgent need for comprehensive efforts to address GBV, protect the rights of women and girls, and develop prevention strategies that consider the different forms of violence they may experience.
