One in five Filipino women age 15-49 has experienced

physical violence since age 15
(Final Results from the 2008 National Demographic and Health Survey)

One in five Filipino women age 15-49 has ever experienced physical violence since age 15, according to the 2008 National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). Women with no education (26%) and those who have reached only primary education (27%) are almost twice as likely as women who have college or higher education (14%) to have experienced physical violence. Also, women in poor households are more likely to report having experienced physical violence than those in wealthier households. The percentage of the poorest women (29% for women in the lowest wealth quintile and 26% for those in the second to the lowest wealth quintile) who have experienced physical violence is more than twice that of the wealthiest women (12%).
