This study aimed to examine the factors affecting violence against women in Cabanatuan City, Philippines. The research questions focused on identifying common crimes/violence/abuse committed against women and exploring the factors influencing such violence. A descriptive research design was employed, gathering quantifiable information through data analysis. The study was conducted in selected barangays in Cabanatuan City, namely Sumacab Este, Bagong Sikat, and Bakero, which had a high number of reported cases of violence against women. The participants included barangay officials and barangay tanods. The findings revealed numerous forms of violence and abuse against women, such as physical violence, sexual violence, economic abuse, emotional abuse, and psychological abuse. These forms of violence stem from gender-based inequality and power imbalances, resulting in significant physical, emotional, and psychological harm to women. The study also highlighted low levels of womens access to paid employment, indicating gender disparities in the workforce due to discrimination, limited job opportunities, unequal pay, and inadequate support for work-life balance. These inequalities hinder womens economic independence and overall empowerment, contributing to gender-based economic disparities. Additionally, the study identified limited access to education among women, emphasizing an educational gap that restricts personal and professional development, limits socio-economic opportunities, and perpetuates gender inequality. The study accentuates the urgent need for interventions and policies to address violence against women and promote gender equality in Cabanatuan City. Efforts should focus on raising awareness about the various forms of violence, implementing measures to protect women, promoting economic opportunities for women, and ensuring equal access to education. By addressing these factors, the study aims to contribute to the creation of a safer and more equitable society for women in Cabanatuan City and beyond.
