12 Results of the Community-Based Peer Monitoring Another woman with disability has to resort to using herbs as an alternative to pills since the latter is usually unavailable at the health center and women with disabilities have to endure long line queues, as they are not prioritized. One pertinent issue and concern raised relating to family planning and reproductive health was the roles of women and their husband, especially at this time that their husbands are always at home. One interviewee shared that, “Isyu namin ay yung role natin as wife. Sa panahong ito, na-observe namin na active ang mga husband sa sex dahil siguro hindi masyadong pagod sa trabaho, may mga kaibigang tumaba at nabuntis.” [At this time, we (women) observe that our husbands are more sexually active, since they are not reporting for work. Thus, some of my friends became pregnant.] Gender-Based Violence During the Quarantine Majority of the women with disability interviewees had not heard any stories of violence against women. However, some interviewees told their peer monitors accounts of violence against women with disabilities and other forms of discrimination. Accounts of rape of women with disabilities were shared during the monitoring. One woman with disablity during the first wave monitoring of the Commission showed suicide ideations as a result of the ECQ and the sexual violence she experience. Immediate response was provided, and she was admitted to the Commission temporary GBV shelter during ECQ from April to May. Most of the women with disabilities who participated in the monitoring project were aware where they can lodge their complaints or seek assistance in cases of gender-based violence. According to them they will be reporting to the following: Police/VAWC Help Desk CHR Barangay/Purok Leader Rescue 911 (in Region X) DSWD/CSWD City Health Office/Hospital DILG Frontliners
