to address maternal mortality due to late referrals, in-transit, and in the hands of untrained TBAs, as raised by Likhaan Center for Women. Lack of access to RH services and facilities and Denial of RH services Accessibility of RH services and information has been highlighted throughout the National Inquiry particularly with women with disabilities, Moro and Indigenous Women and women in GIDA. This was also discussed specific to women who are displaced as a result of development aggression, armed conflict or in the context of natural disasters which render women, specially marginalized women, more vulnerable. In the NCR and Cagayan de Oro-Bukidnon cluster, the lack of accessibility of government health centers and facilities for women with disabilities have been raised. Submissions and sworn testimonies of PWDs complain of the seeming invisibility of the needs of PWDs, the absence of facilities like examination tables, the absence of interpreters in police stations and in courts for PWD victim-survivor of violence against women, and the absence of interpreters as well in health centers and government health facilities. PWDs also complain of not being informed of the processes affecting them and of the disregard for their decision because of their disability. A submission also recounted the denial of health services on the basis of her disability, a clear case of discrimination. Women in GIDA, including Moro and IP women, and rural women complain of the distance of health facilities and the lack of transport. Due to distance from City centers, information on available RH services fail to reach them, and in instances that they do, they are often faced with further barriers like the distance of facilities and absence of transportation, the absence of required birth registration and health records, religious and cultural barriers - -all of which affect access and availability of RH services. Accounts from Regional Consultations also showed the discriminatory practices of health care workers targeting IP women, specifically accounts of degrading treatment and verbal abuse on the basis of being indigenous was reported in Tuguegarao 18. There were also reports that IP women were delisted from the State’s 4P’s, Pantawid Pamilya program as they were unable to comply with the reporting requirement – this, as pointed out by IP RO consulation in Tuguegaro reported a doctor addressing an IP woman and syaibg “Ang baho ng puki ninyo, hindi ko maibuka para sa inypo” ( your vagina stinks so much I cannot ask you to open your legs). 18 28
