the lack of access to remedies for VAW inside the family but also the difficulty of accessing remedies in cases where the perpetrators are State actors – those who demolish their shanties and leave trails of abuses. Invisibility of issues and specific vulnerabilities of women in the marginalized sector As previously pointed out, adequate response to the intersecting vulnerabilities of women, particularly Moro and Indigenous women, women in in geographically inaccessible areas, women with disabilities, lesbian, bisexual and transwomen is lacking. The issues of Indigenous women on the penalization and criminalization of traditional and indigenous home births have been largely ignored – with more and more LGUs enacting ordinances as their interpretation of the DOH’s encouragement of facility based delivery, and without express prohibition from the DOH against the enactment of these ordinances. For Moro and IP women, mostly in GIDA, and women with disabilities access to reproductive health services remain challenging. Distance or in some case absence of health facilities, the lack or absence of health service providers, the failure to provide accommodation for needs of PWDs, and failure to take into account cultural sensitivities have been complained of. For LBTs, the stigma borne by their sexual orientation and gender identity continue to hinder sensitive delivery of reproductive health services and information. In the same vein, access to reproductive health services and general health services of persons with HIV are affected by the stigma attached to HIV and the lack of awareness and training of health workers on HIV. In areas where displacement is prevalent, the constant complaint has been the failure to take into consideration and prioritize the reproductive health needs of women, their protection from violence and trafficking. For the IDPs in Zamboanga and in Tacloban, despite having been resettled either in transitory or in permanent shelters, access to reproductive health services and information, to health facilities, and to transportation to health facilities have been consistently complained of. Complaints have been documented that the needs of women during displacement have not been adequately met. 10
