    This reflection paper discusses the author's learnings about gender and society from chapters 9-12 of the course. It focuses on laws, policies, and programs that promote women's rights and equality in the Philippines. Historically, women faced inequality and were not treated equally to men. However, international agreements like CEDAW and national programs now aim to protect women's rights and prevent exploitation. For example, laws promote women's participation in politics and use of technology. While more progress is still needed, as laws are not always followed, the implementation of these policies and having women in high government roles has helped advance gender equality and women's important role in nation-building in the Philippines.

    CN5674 - GENDER AND SOCIETY

    REFLECTION PAPER

    This paper includes the reflection paper and the learnings that I have learned in
    the discussions during finals. This reflection paper includes the chapter 9-12. In this
    subject you really learn the rights of women and the history of women before, which
    includes the inequality that the women received from the people.

    In chapter 9, this talks about the laws, policies, and programs for Philippine
    Women. As we all know before the women were not treated equally by the men
    because they believed that the women are not capable of doing what they can do, in
    which this means inequality. But today there are lot of programs and policies that helps
    women in getting their rights as a human being. Now, there are policies which treated
    equal rights among men and women, we have The Universal Declaration of Human
    Rights, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Declaration against Women
    (CEDAW), the Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA), the Millennium Development Goals
    (MDGs), and the Sustainable Development Goals. These programs were not only to
    protect women but also it protects children for trafficking, forced marriage, female
    genital mutilation and other types of exploitation. Also, in this chapter they enhance the
    use of enabling technology, particularly information and communications technology, to
    promote the empowerment of women, because even though there are laws that protect
    women some of the people were not really proper educated and continue to post and
    comment hurtful thighs towards women. Here in the Philippines, there are lot of women
    who became senators and even vice president in the country which also helps to focus
    on the aspect of helping women as well as protecting them. Women is a very important
    in the community, because we play a vital role in nation-building. Their inclusion in
    societal structures and processes are key toward equality and development, so now we
    are thankful that these laws were implemented because we can taste the equality
    towards our gender. We can also do the thigs that the men do and we can also do the
    things that we want to do.
