Your Request
You asked for Number of Cases in Violence Against Women and Children
Response to Request
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance, PCW can only provide you with the data on VAW from January 2018 to March 2023 and data on VAC which is from January 2022 to March 2023 only, as provided by the Philippine National Police. Please see the attachment in this reply for the file we have received from the mentioned agency.
As for your complete request, we recommend that you directly contact the Philippine National Police, for it is the most appropriate office for your concern. As of now, PNP is the only source of data on the national incidence of violence against women and has a well-established reporting system through its Crime Information Reporting and Analysis System (CIRAS). This electronic system is fully operational in all police stations and community precincts in the country. You may reach them through the following contact information:
Police BGen. Redrico Maranan

The PSA also releases the Annual Statistical Fact Sheets on Women and Men in the Philippines, which, among others, contain VAW data: https://psa.gov.ph/gender-stat/wmf.
