The said activity was well-represented by the invited government service providers, to wit:
CHR: How many members of the women fisherfolks do we have in our list?
JANE (DA): We do not have a particular number of women fisherfolks as of this time, because
we combine the male fisherfolks and women fisherfolks. Women fisherfolks were not separated
from men.
MIRA (BARANGAY GAD FOCAL): Yes, we do have list of women fisherfolks who were
victims of domestic violence. They experience physical, mental, financial abuses from their
husband. I do not have a copy with me. PERO KATO DUNA MI GI SETTLE MA’AM KAY
AMO RA POD SILA GI SETTLE.
CHR: The victim of abuses and the perpetrators should not be settled under the Violence Against
Women. Actually the cycle of abuse still continues, because of forgiveness from the victim. We
should follow the law.
