Low-Tech Digital Solution to Tackle Gender-Based Violence in Rural Philippines

Gender-based violence is unreported or under-reported in many rural parts of the Philippines, coinciding with regions where last mile access to support services for victims is also limited. A major contributor to this problem is the fact that victims have no way and no choice to report incidents or seek help. As a result, authorities and policy makers lack the data to intervene in gender-based violence or improve the services and programs to support victims.
