 During the onslaught of typhoon Yolanda, because of loss of livelihood some women became vulnerable to human trafficking and prostitution. Participants shared that some of the women who were victims of typhoon Yolanda are currently working as entertainers in Angeles City. Food security  During disasters such as typhoon, there is no food, shelter, water. Women and their families succumb to hunger because there is no immediate response on the part of the Government as to relief operations, especially in isolated areas. Poverty arises because of lack of livelihood. If there is no food, women would do anything for survival. There will be recruitment, trafficking, and women would enter into illegal situations just to have food.  Specifically in Regions 10 and 4, lack of access to food and/or unequal food distribution has been noted.  It was also noted that IPs are being discriminated in evacuation centers. Health  Women, children, sick people and the elderly lack medical attention. It has been observed that the government does not know how to treat bedridden women in evacuation centers.  Yolanda devastation caused women to be subjected to severe trauma and poverty. There were no services for psycho-social interventions. Issues in Relation to Shelter  The need for shelter is not adequately addressed. Displaced families often find themselves in school classrooms along with many other families, where males and females are mixed. There are no adequate facilities for sanitation and other necessities for living.  Situation in the evacuation centers does not allow for intimacy between spouses, leading to increased sexual frustration and disintegration of marital relationships. 70
