There were only 29 responses to the question on whether the woman considers herself as the main decision-maker in their household (“household head”). Only 19 said they are the household heads (65.5% of the responses). Out of 46, six are members of indigenous cultural communities (from Region I and XII), and one interviewee is a woman with disability (from Region VII). None of the women identified herself as a LBTQIA+. In terms of their relationship with the EJK victim, almost half of the women interviewed are wives or domestic partners of the EJK victims (45.7%), followed by mothers (34.8%). Thewives or domestic partners have known the victim for over two years to 43 years, while mothers and sisters would have known the victim since her or his birth.

A separate category for widows of the EJK victim was created to differentiate them from widows whose partners died by other causes. The report also does not differentiate between legal marriages and commonlaw relationships as the quality of relationship is what is relevant, not the legality of their union.
