Going through this National Directory of accredited women’s organizations makes one realize the dramatic growth of the women’s movement in the Philippines in the last decade and the latent power of women. Indeed, organized women have gone a long way in pushing its agenda in the arena of gender and development. May the efforts poured into this directory pave the way tor mote linkages, better networking and increased communication among the women’s organizations and their partners, across’ sectors and all levels. With the numerous organizational configurations and varying levels of women’s capabilities reflected in this instrument, the key players in development can find great use in the voluminous information included here. In behalf of the NCRFW and the NCWP Board of Directors and Officers, it is our great pleasure that we extend our heartfelt congratulations to all those dedicated women who, in one way or another, have generously given time and effort to this project. We also thank the many women’s networks, national organizations and councils of women, without whose cooperation and collaboration this national directory of women’s network would not have been developed. To all the women behind this undertaking, let us be one, strengthen our bond and build women’s solidarity and power. Drs tte Mn wut, = Flona 4 ea IMELDA M. NICOLAS NONA S.

Emerging scenarios would demand the consolidation, convergence and partnership-building among key stakeholders of development. Inevitably and increasingly, © women’s organizations across sectors and at all levels (ie. international, regional, national, and local) would be at the forefront to play critical roles in the pursuit of equality, development and peace, especially at the local levels. Today, various avenues are open for women’s greater participation and representation in all aspects of development, e. g., social, economic, governance, political, ete. The 1991 Local Government Code (LGC), ushered women’s groups into a process that resulted to the installation of a nationwide mechanism for participation and sectoral representation in special bodies of Local Government Units (LGUs). In the spirit of the LGC, various women’s non-government organizations (NGOs) and people’s organizations (POs) including women’s cooperatives, clubs, federations, associations and councils participated in the nationwide accreditation of NGOs and POs. The COMELEC, by virtue of the power vested in it by the Constitution has appointed NCWP together with NCRFW, WAND and G-10 (now ‘Lakas ng Kababaihan) to National Accreditation Committee for Women’s Organizations (NACWO). This process paved the way for determining the geographic reach and programmatic profiles of all participating women’s groups. The rich array of information gathered, however, can come to naught if not used to harness women’s resources, potentials and capacities towards gender-responsive development.TROPPO The challenges of the future require the increasing participation of organized groups in all aspects of development and nation-building.

The rich array of information gathered, however, can come to naught if not used to harness women’s resources, potentials and capacities towards gender-responsive development.Thus, the National Council of Women of the Philippines (NCWP) having accredited 90% of the women NGOs took on the challenge and initiated the task of producing an instrument for information, communication and networking. This initiative primarily aimed at developing a tool that would foster enlightened awareness on up-to-date innovations and women’s programs and strengthen the linkages among key actors and target clientele To a large extent, this concretized a service mission of NCWP as a facilitator and catalyst for development. With this tool, NCWP can serve the broad range of women’s groups including its full membership of 221 national affiliates and 4,419 local councils of more than 10 million members nationwide. The National Commission on the Role of Filipino Women (NCRFW) having seen the need for a comprehensive listing to assist government agencies, the international community, other private business sectors, - has entrusted NCWP the task and generously provided the support that resulted to the production of “Directory of Women’s ”. The close collaboration of NCWP member organizations and other cooperating women’s networks and NGOs/POs all over the country, has made their gigantic task possible. This national directory provides the organizational profile and geographic reach of accredited women’s organizations across sectors from all parts of the country. It also presents the different configurations of women’s groups in terms of membership size, organizational typology (e.g. as network, affiliate, chapter, etc.) and geographic reach or areal coverage (i.e. national, regional, provincial, city, municipality and barangay). More than being an information package of organizations’ goals and objectives, programs and activities, as well as their resources and expertise, this resource directory is a vital guide and reference for communication, networking and linkage-building. Planners, decision-makers, ‘ government agencies, non-government organizations, funding and resource agencies, and the private sector organizations with interest in gender and development can use this tool extensively The NCRFW and NCWP is confident that this vehicle can heighten awareness and participation among women and their partners in achieving our common goals for the future of all Filipino women, their families and communities.TABLE _OF CONTENTS PAGE NO.

It was initiated to respond to the information, communication and networking needs of women's organizations and other interest groups involved in gender and development. This compilation of profiles of women's organizations at the national, regional, provincial, municipal, city, and barangay levels provides information and data on women's non-government organizations and 4,419 local council of women. Specifically, a brief about each organization contains the following information: addresses phone/telefax numbers contact persons/incumbent head membership size geographic coverage type of organization objectives areas of concern programs/activities registration and international affiliation PURPOSE The purposes of the directory are the following © Toserveasa general information cum reference material and to aid in establishing contacts and in generating networking facilities for women non-governmental organizations nationwide; . To facilitate access to associations which have the potential to host national and eveninternational congresses. . To provide interested individuals/organizations with expanded information about the expertise, resources and locations of other women's networks/organizations/groups who can become their partners in the local, national or international programs and projects. This compilation has three major sections: : Section I covers the leading networks of women's organizations arranged according to membership size. : Section II includes women's organizations that are national in scope and with a large constituency in terms of members and target beneficiaries. . Section III features 4,419 local councils of women that operate in the provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays, under NCWP's membership. METHODOLOGY The information in the Directory which took fifteen months (15) of preparation was obtained through a Questionnaire Survey conducted by the NCWP. About 5000 questionnaires were sent to various NGOs including the 4,419 NCWP’s national affiliates and networks and councils of women nationwide. Follow-ups through postal and phone calls were also done toensure that the questionnaires were accomplished and submitted by the target respondents and that the information obtained from the survey was accurate and complete. Additional data were gathered through telephone inquiries.CHANGES/ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Every effort was made to secure complete and accurate data. Nevertheless, the NCWP requests for understanding and kind consideration for any inaccuracy or omission that may occur. The NCWP-Directory project staff was very persistent in sending and following - up questionnaires. Nevertheless, any changes or additions to the current list should be sent to: 1 Office Address: NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN OF THE PHILIPPINES (NCWP) PHILIPPINE WOMEN’S UNIVERSITY TAFT AVENUE, MANILA Telephone Numbers (632) 58-82-01/50-9119/523- 3439 Fax Numbers (632) 58-82-01/522-3654/633- 2145 2.

As such, these women's aggrupations are composed of large constituencies of national women's affiliates, i. e. national women's organizations, networks of individual women members or chapters of women NGOs with national presence, including locally-based women's non-government organizations, federations, associations, clubs and councils. In most cases, these networks widely operate in strategic centers of the country, e. g. National Capital Region, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. The geographic reach of their membership is nationwide. The networks’ programs and activities cover a broad range of sectoral areas of concern and national issues. These networks usually enjoy the mandate to represent their membership, after due consultation and a process of consensus. They serve as the women's voice at international fora and consultations in relation to critical women's issues and positions with global significance. The broad-based membership of each network adhere to common vision, mission and goals, as defined by the general assembly of the network. However, members operate autonomously and are free to develop their own strategies and programs to the extent that these do not contradict the network principles and membership guidelines.001 NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN OF THE PHILIPPINES OFFICE ADDRESS WOMEN'S DEVELOPMENT CENTER ADDRESS TELEPHONE NO.

They have submitted that rape has always been understood as pertaining only to the genitals. Yet progressive anti-rape laws that encompass their way into the statute books of some countries and states in the United States. SIBOL believes that this so-called "Universal" definition of rape is not necessarily women's understanding of the concept. The present legal definition of rape did not come from the women who have experienced the horrors of being at the receiving end of men's creative violent fantasies. Furthermore, it is submitted that universality not be the consideration but the merits of the proposal itself. . Sibol maintains that sexual assault does not capture the essence of rape - It has been proposed that acts which do not involve penetration of the vagina by the penis be termed sexual assault not rape. This proposal views the use of terminology asa matter of semantics which should not be given much weight as long as the same penalty is. given both rape and sexual assault. This reasoning, however, affirms what it denies: that the term does matter and has significance. . Sibol maintains that marital rape does happen and must be penalized.- Marriage is a contract of bondage and should be a relationship of oppression and subordination. A woman's basic human rights to liberty and human dignity do not cease to exist upon marriage. These rights are guaranteed by the Constitution and all human rights conventions to which the Philippines is a party. The Family Code itself provides that the husband and the wife should observe mutual respect, love and support. Marital rape is inconsistent with legal framework. A woman's basic human rights and the obligation to respect, love and support her are violated when a husband commits rape against his wife. The Supreme Court ruled in no uncertain terms in the case of Arroyo vs. Arroyo that no woman can be forced to have sex with her. husband. To do so, according to the Court would violate her to liberty. To say that women, evenwhen they are raped by their husbands, should not be given the right to file a criminal complaint for rape is tantamount to legitimizing rape‘in marriage. The argument that allowing the wife to file a complaint for rape against her husband undermines the solidarity of the family is entirely devoid of merit. The violations ofa spouse's human Tights undermine the marriage and the family, not the right to seek redress for those violations. It is the lack of respect for a spouse's person and human dignity which destroys family solidarity, not the right to file a case of marital rape. The Constitutional mandate to protect the Filipino family is not meant to deny rights to redress for violations ofhuman rights.
