This survey was conducted in 2019 by the Commission on Human Rights
through its Center for Gender Equality and Women’s Human Rights
in collaboration with sixteen CHR regional offices, the Bureau of Jail
Management and Penology, and selected women’s correctional facilities.
The survey was implemented in consultation with civil society organizations
and wardens from the National Capital Region, and in the form of focus
