RECOMMENDATIONS

The following are the recommendations of the researchers to the participants

involved in the study:

1. In regards with the risks/threats, the researchers recommended that local authorities

should be observant and vigilant on cases involving the safety of women especially in

their respective barangays. If there are any cases of violence, immediate response is

necessary.

2. The implementation of the actions/program in barangays of Batangas City should be

monitored and evaluated consistently.

3. As the study shows that majority of the barangays in the Batangas City were less

satisfied on the actions and programs implemented in their community, it is therefore

recommended that people should be aware of its existence and strict implementation

and support for women must be observed in all circumstances. Awareness to various

actions/programs of the local government units is the key in preventing various conflicts

against women.

4. The researchers upon assessing and knowing that there is a strong stand of violence

and threat present in every barangay and therefore it shall be addressed by legal

measures which will secure the protection of every woman. The researchers

recommend that an ordinance be proposed in the barangays of Batangas City

specifically on providing self-defense workshops and seminar as this is not implemented

very well in the barangays.
