It has been proven that there were a large number of cases addressed to the institutions protecting women. The National Institute of Justice, July 2000 states that it is estimated that 503,485 women are stalked by an intimate partner each year in the United States. In the Philippines, over 64,436 cases of violence were reported from the year 2004 up to 2011.

Sexual violence includes all action performed by resorting to
4 force without the consent of the person. Economical violence is defined by the total control of the finances of the family’s aggressor. And the Spiritual violence is the prevention to woman to go to the church.
