● How  can  we  know  it  is  over?  How  about  those  who  come back? Where is the exit point? I think it is crucial for the service providers. How  do  you  document?  How  about  those  cases  that  were  informally  ended  because  of  the  lack  of  funds?  Pero  who  decides  that?  Between  dismissed and closed cases.     6. How  can  the  process  of  women’s  empowerment  be  documented,  recognizing  that  legal  victory  may  not  be  the  endpoint  for  many  women  (women’s ideas of justice)?  ● Behind  the  numbers  that  we  have  are  numbers  of  women  who  reported  and  stepped  forward.  How  do  we  document  the  story  and  process  of  empowering  women  in  the  process?  Knowing  and  recognizing  again  that  legal  victory  may  not  always  be  the  end goal. How  many cases on anti-VAWC were won? Would that be the only victory that we can count as advocates?  Recommendations  1. Include  in  intake  forms  or  client  data  sheets  information  on  a  range  of  identities  of  women,  which  may  have  been  contributing  to  her  marginalization: ethnicity, SOGIE and abilities, among others.  ● We  need  to  empower  women  with  disabilities  by  accommodating  and  providing  access  to  their  needs  but  we  also  need  to  assess  the  readiness of service providers.     2. Strengthen the documentation, research and publication of capacities of direct service providers and agencies, especially at the local level.  ● I  know  this is asking a lot from our direct service providers but we see the value of being able to generate and publish your own materials  and resources.     3. Publish  local  data  (city, municipal and provincial) on gender-based violence, recognizing the context-specific nature of the social construction of  GBV  ● They  have  data  but  they  do  not  use  it  to  educate  the  community.  They  only use it to report to the Central Office. They should share it to  the region and make stakeholders in your community aware.    4. Encourage  more  research  and  publication  on  women  and  climate  change,  disabilities,  health  in  general,  mental  health,  and  housing  using  a  women’s human rights-based framework.  ● How do we make data work for women? We need to fill in the gaps first and work on specific themes.    MAKING DATA WORK FOR WOMEN: VALIDATION OF FRAMEWORK AND RESEARCH FINDINGS ON GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE  A DOCUMENTATION REPORT  19
