Item Restricted The impact of intimate partner violence on Filipino women’s decision to avail family(2024-01) Pascual, Kingsley B.; Raymundo, Kyrsten Faye T.; Pajaron, Marjorie C.This study explores how the family planning choices of Filipino women are influenced by Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). Our analysis of the data from the 2022 National Demographic and Health Survey shows that IPV is prevalent among Filipino women, with approximately one in five experiencing some form of it. Notably, women having experienced IPV are more likely to access contraceptive methods, especially in cases of physical and sexual violence. These findings highlight the intricate dynamics affecting family planning decisions and have significant implications for public health policies and programs. Targeted interventions are necessary to support women affected by IPV in accessing family planning resources and inclusive support systems. This study intends to advance knowledge about the interconnection of IPV and family planning choices made by Filipino women, and hence more informed choice.
