    (2022-01-28) Lopez, Angela Marie R.; Rodriguez, Jose Antonio Miguel C.; Jandoc, Karl Robert L.
    This paper traces and analyzes the trends and patterns of the attitudes of Filipino women towards wife beating, one of the most common forms of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), from 2003 to 2017 in order to evaluate, the impact of the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children (AVA WC) Act of 2004. It a1so ~valuates the effect of different sociodemographic characteristics to the likelihood that a woman will possess attitudes that justify this form of violence. Using data from the National Demographic Health Surveys, we find that the proportion of women who agree that wife beating is justifiable due to different reasons decreased hy about 60% over the 15-year period. A sizable portion of which happened between 2003-2008 which indicates a significant catalyst occurring between these years, in the form of the AVAWC act among others. It was also uncovered that a woman's urban residence, wealth; degree of exposure to mass media, and religious affiliation were all significant and negative predictors of their likelihood to justify wife beating. Meanwhile, education and employment were not robust in their effects in the model of analysis.
