how long did it take for the woman to get a court protection order) and status of cases are not part of official data, although these can be sourced from documentation already done by certain institutions. Related to this, is the one-dimensional regard of women in GBV documentation. The intersectionality of women’s identities and its impact on their experience of GBV is yet to be explored, and the availability of data on this is crucial. Only a few agencies have mainstreamed questions regarding their ethnicity, SOGIE (sexual orientation, gender identity and expression) and (dis)ability in standard intake forms. Instead, these information may be found in the “salaysay” or narratives of women recorded in logbooks, but it is highly subject to what the documentor thinks as relevant to the case, thus would consciously ask or include this, or to what the woman herself thinks is relevant. It is important to note that the Joint Memorandum Circular 02 on the establishment of barangay women’s desks, which was released in 2010, forwarded a national documentation form on VAW for barangays, however, none of the participating barangays in the GBV Observatory project was familiar with it, or had used it. The documentation form was more comprehensive than current barangay formats which noted only basic personal information such as name, address, civil status and age, in addition to the salaysay. It also tracked information such as the victim/survivor’s disability, but not her ethnicity or SOGIE.7 4. There is extensive quantitative and qualitative data related to GBV and its context collected by various government agencies, from local to national levels. At the barangay level, VAWC logbook entries are good sources of the type of VAWC reported, and interventions done and resolutions (e.g. the salaysay and kasunduan as referred by the police and local social welfare and development offices). However, not all of these information are captured in the forms submitted to municipal, provincial governments, which only track the number of cases received and type of violence experienced. For VAWC, it will be grouped according to the categories of physical, sexual, psychological and economic, as set in RA 9262. City, muncipal and provincial level data on GBV are the same, but agencies such as the LSWDO and PNP would have more information on the profile of women, as well as interventions provided. Marikina City has started on a database project on VAWC which they aim to be more attuned to the nuances of the cases, track cases by number of complaints as well as number of individuals who sought help, and case management up to after-care interventions. Ease of documentation is also another issue which the project aims to address. At the national level, there is the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) which have consolidated reports on VAWC from communities across the country. As mentioned earlier, these reports contain the number of VAWC and rape cases recorded, and the type of violence experienced. The DILG also monitors the establishment of Anti-VAWC desks across the country and the number of established desks are also published. The PNP data is more extensive as it contains the general 7 The Joint Memorandum Circular (JMC) No. 2, s.2010 was issued by the Department of Interior and Local Government, Department of Social Welfare and Development, Department of Education, Department of Health and the Philippine Commisson on Women. The National VAW (NVAW) documentation form is found in Annex 1 of the JMC. Making Data Work for Women’s Human Rights A Proposed Framework for the CHR Observatory on Gender-Based Violence 8
