description | This study compares the traumatic and human rights violation experiences of persons with mental health conditions or psychosocial disabilities and those of persons with other disabilities in the Philippines. Additionally, the role of gender in exposure to traumatic experience and human rights protection levels is explored. Of those registered as persons with disabilities in the city of Muntinlupa, 3000 subjects were randomly selected and 1,024 among them (Male = 510, Female = 512, Others = 2) agreed to participate in this study. This comparative study adopts a cross-sectional design. The survey was conducted using a structured questionnaire. The researchers mobilized health workers, officially recruited by the city, to visit the target participants’ houses and to distribute the questionnaires to collect data. The questionnaire comprises items related to the participants’ socio-demographic characteristics, exposure to traumatic experiences, and human rights-based well-being. Regarding the frequency of exposure to traumatic experiences, a little difference was found in physical domestic violence (abuse) between the two groups (Frequency = 20 (9.66), 44 (5.39%), χ2 = 5.154, p < 0.05). Regarding human rights-based well-being, no significant difference was found between persons with mental health conditions or psychosocial disabilities and persons with other disabilities. However, the human rights-based well-being of women with mental health conditions or psychosocial disabilities was significantly worse than that of women with other types of disabilities. Concrete and day-to-day human rights challenges in several areas in addition to inaccessibility to various services may have contributed to the human rights challenges encountered by women with mental health conditions or psychosocial disabilities. De-stigmatization of women with mental health conditions or psychosocial disabilities, the implementation of awareness-raising campaigns on various levels, and developing capacity of women with mental health conditions or psychosocial disabilities on how to protect their own rights may help improve the status quo. |
