    This study focuses on the socio-economic factors affecting physical violence against women by their intimate partner. It used the 2008 National Demographic and Health Survey of the Philippines, focusing on the Women's Safety Module. After regression through the Logit model, it was found that education in single years of man and woman, the wealth index equal to richest, the place of residence, the marital status, and the number of children five and under are significant. On the other hand, age difference of the couple, current employment status of the woman, her partner's occupation and wealth index equal from poorest to richer are insignificant.

    Justifying violence: an analysis of Filipino women's attitudes toward wife beating over time
    (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.
