Woman Empowerment
 Definition of Woman Empowerment

Women's empowerment (or female empowerment) is the

process of empowering women. It may be defined in several ways, including accepting women's

viewpoints or making an effort to seek them, raising the status of women through education,

awareness, literacy, and training. Women's empowerment equips and allows women to make life-

determining decisions through the different problems in society. They may have the opportunity to

redefine gender roles or other such roles, which in turn may allow them more freedom to pursue

desired goals.

Economic Insecurity Sexual Violence Threat of the Education

ECONOMIC INSECURITY

Economic growth is expected to further rebound assuming a containment

of the virus domestically and globally, an acceleration of mass vaccination pace,
and with more robust domestic activity bolstered by greater consumer and
business confidence and the public investment momentum. The recovery is
expected to also have overall positive impact on poverty reduction.
SEXUAK VIOLENCE

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, rape cases increased

considerably from 1656 in 2018 to 2162 in 2019 and then to 2168 in 2020.
But as per the Philippine National Police, the number of reported rape cases
for 2020 stood as high as 6548. In the light of this glaring discrepancy—which
could either be a concealment practice or a reflection of lapses in the way data
is being collected—it becomes difficult to judge the true intensity of the
sexual violence problem currently unfolding within Filipino society.
THREAT OF THE EDUCATION

COVID-19 has caused massive disruptions to the education system

with women holding the short end of the stick. According to a survey, nearly
71 per cent of Filipino women have categorized education as one of the
main aspects of their lives that has been most impacted by the pandemic.

Although the total female literacy rate in the Philippines

has remained constant so far, hovering at 98.20 per cent for 2019
as well as for 2020, one should not forget that even before the
crisis, nearly 63 per cent of the young children who dropped out
of school in the Philippines were girls.
