Respondent D said that “ sa panggahasa ang rason ay dahil walang nanay”. Third is “trafficking o prostitusyon sa mga bata o babae”, which is also not that common in their community but still is happening. The same reasons with rape are the reasons why this is happening and plus financial problem. They used the child sex acts in exchange of money. Furthermore, based on the result of the interview, the government resolves these issues by having a VAWC Desk in the barangay which the parties will have hearing where both sides can be heard and if possible be settled. Also, the barangay are advising those people that are involved in those incidents so that it will not happen again. It is evident that in their place the government especially their barangay are committed in eradicating or lessening these violence as they are handing their hands to their constituents. However, many (40%) of the women fisher folk are not aware or not that engage in their community as they have no idea or heard any incident related to trafficking and genderbased violence. This is maybe because they are busy on earning money so that they can survive a day and can have food in their tables. Trafficking and Gender-Based Violence during the Covid-19 pandemic Moreover, in terms of Trafficking and Gender-Based Violence during the Covid-19 pandemic, most (80.00%) of the women fisher folk have affirmed that there is no incidents. One reason that the women fisher folk have said none is because during the Covid-19 Pandemic limited people only are allowed to go out in their houses prioritizing their safety. Nevertheless, few (20%) of the women fisher folk has testified that there are incidents relating to trafficking and gender-based violence which is the same incidents are pointed put before the Covid-19 pandemic which are “pambubugbog sa asawa and panggahasa o ibang pang aabusong sekswal”. GENERAL IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC The sixth indicator in the key informant interview is about general impact of Covid-19 Pandemic to the lives of the Women Fisher and of their Families. Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic to the fisherman and their Household chores In terms of the impact of Covid-19 Pandemic to the fisherman it greatly marks their economic status as seen on the result of the interview. They have stated that they struggle in their finances because their work is extremely affected of the Covid-19 Pandemic. They cannot go out to catch fish therefore they do not have anything to sell. It is also obvious that they cannot go look for food in the sea nor in the river because of this pandemic. Thus, this results in low income of the fishermen. 21 | Page
