issues and gaps in documentation and overall women’s access to justice. Following pilot
GBV mapping activities, CHR regional offices held capacity building activities in
preparation for FGDs in selected local government units (LGUs). FGDs were conducted
in two areas per regional office. In each area, one FGD was held for service providers
who handle GBV cases, and another was for community women and civil society
organizations (CSOs).
Representatives of the Philippine National Police (PNP), local Social Welfare and
Development Offices (LSWDO), GAD Focal Persons, the Barangay VAW Desk,
community women’s organizations, City/Municipality hospitals, the city/ municipality
prosecutor’s office, and the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) took part in the FGDs for
service providers. These were held on dates and venues summarized in the matrix below
