Abstract/Summary

Aggression is a phenomenon that is widely experienced by women in different settings and the street is one of these. This descriptive study sought to examine the street-based aggression experiences of female street vendors and its associated factors. Sixty female vendors of Iligan City were interviewed. As data indicated, patterns of street-based aggression were observed such that respondents were experiencing various types of aggression in the streets simultaneously and were commonly perpetrated by their co-vendors. Physical well-being of these women was poor but their emotional well-being was found to be good. Of the four variables associated, only level of individual empowerment was regarded as statistically significant to street-based aggression experiences. This means that female vendors who have low level of individual empowerment were more expected to experience street-based aggression frequently. Study suggests that programs aiming to protect women against violence in the household and organizations should give attention to street-based women such as female vendors who were found to be victims of street-based aggression.
