Part III. Interviews with Women
The tabulated individual and household profiles covered 46 out of the 53 completed
interviews for the project. This was because of the inadequate documentation of five
interviews, and two were joint interviews (therefore counted two not four cases).

perspectives on the War on Drugs and extra-judicial killing (EJK). The oldest intervewee is
73 years old, while the youngest is 20 years old. The average age is 46.8 years old.
