GBV CASE IN NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION (NCR)
A married woman who is residing in NCR was being psychologically abused by
her husband through the latter’s repeated marital infidelity. She further reported to the
Commission on Human Rights that she feared for her safety as she is currently residing
in the house of her in-laws. She did not attempt to seek a barangay protection order as
her in laws are prominent in the barangay and the same would be futile.
The Center for Gender Equality and Women's Human Rights Center assisted her
by providing transportation for her and her child so she can leave her current residence
and stay with her mother in the province.
