By the end of June, government remains to be far off its target.Specifically, by 28 of June, only 3.6 % of the 70 million Filipinos targeted were fully vaccinated.44 This is broken down to 7,538, 128 (first doses) and 2,527,286 (second dose). Sex and sector segregated is not yet available - highlighting also the possibility that current roll out could continue to render invisible other marginalized populations . II. Specific Rights and Protections under the Magna Carta of Women A. Protection from Violence In the fulfilment of its role as Gender Ombud, the Commission through different entry points has rendered legal advise and assistance to women, girls, and members of LGBTQI community who were victim survivors of violence. Reports from the Commission’s GBV Online Reporting portal - ‘E-Report mo sa Gender Ombud’, reports from the E-lawyering service, from the Citizens Help and Assistance Desk (CHAD), and walk in cases from the regions reveal the persistence of GBV amidst the crisis. Dubbed as the shadow pandemic, CSOs and including the Commission has time and again raised the importance of functional and effective referral mechanisms addressing GBV. We have previously stated in our 2020 Gender Ombud report that PNO reported GBV cases in 2020 were much lower than that compared to 2019. We have stated that we see the reduced number as indicative of the many barriers to reporting even as the country moves from one lockdown to another. Currently, from January to June of 2021, the GBV reporting portal has received 35 reports including those from CHAD, of this 5 involved members of the PNP as perpetrators, and 8 from other government employees/elected officials. Intimate partner violence (RA 9262) remains the highest number of complaints, followed by rape/attempted rape, with the third highest complaint pertaining to threats. In all these, many of the violations were committed in online spaces. Violations of the Safe Spaces Act particularly online sexual harassment have been reported in several Facebook groups including groups on online selling, bike groups, and even in deaf community groups were rape videos were dessiminated. This semester, the portal received and facilitated the legal assistance and support of two deaf survivors of violence. There were also continuing reports of insensitivity of service providers - discouraging reporting as in the case of a VAWC case reported in Tanay and another case of insensitive handling of a rape case in Iloilo. These highlight the need to continue ensuring and monitoring of the delivery of survivor centered service on the ground and to strengthen accountability mechanisms. 44 Jalea, G.
