calendar. He makes a mistake, and gets the woman pregnant. The husband is scared of contraceptives because he wants it to be natural. But, generally, the men are the ones who choose the RH commodities.) The major sources of information on RH identified by women with disabilities were media platforms (TV, radio, and social media, such as Facebook) and health service providers (Barangay Health Workers (BHWs), midwives, health centers, hospitals). Some of the participants cited schools, personal experience, and family members as sources of information on RH, but these sources of information do not capture women with disabilities' need for, and right to, information. The said information was targeted towards a different group of population. Moreover, they are lacking in elements, substance, and language that cater to women with disabilities. As pointed out by a woman with disability from La Trinidad, “Mangmangeg mi radio ngem saan mi maawatan.” (“We hear them from the radio, but we don’t understand.”) With regard to gender-based violence (GBV), testimonies of women with disabilities from all targeted locales indicated familiarity with GBV, except for deaf women and women with cognitive disability; recognizing VAWC remains a challenge for them. Across the targeted locales, women with disabilities related the emotional, verbal, physical, sexual, economic, and online abuses they experienced. Women with disabilities participants in different locales targeted in the Inquiry have varied and limited awareness of legal remedies in cases of GBV. A few were aware that a GBV should be reported, but participants—particularly those from NCR—do not know how to go about it (i.e. entry points for reporting and how to proceed with the filing of a complaint). This hinders them from getting out and seeking help. 3.2.2. Control over sexuality, reproductive health, and access to justice in cases of GBV against women The 2016 National Inquiry surfaced a lack of men’s involvement in the RH agenda, as well as the strong influence of religious and indigenous leaders on women’s decisions with regard to their sexual and reproductive health. The said finding is still relevant, given the non-inclusion of men in promoting the rights of women. Women with disabilities, in particular, are restricted from the exercise and enjoyment of their right to sexual and reproductive health. Across targeted locales, public hearings and fact-finding missions showed restrictions placed by men and family members over sexuality, reproductive health, and access to remedies in cases of GBV by women with disabilities. This hampered their agency—their right to control over their body and make decisions, particularly with regard to their sexual and reproductive rights. Varied experiences of women with disabilities on restrictions over the exercise of their agency were noted across targeted locales of the Inquiry. A woman with disability from Cagayan de Oro shared that she did not have a voice with regard to sex with her husband. 17
