COVID-19: Empowering Bigueña

 

Before, a lot of bigueña were being discriminated because of their gender. They were traditionally thought to be full-time housewives. Their primary responsibility was to look after their children and family. Women's empowerment can be described in very simple terms as empowering women so that they can make their own decisions about their lives and well-being in family and society.

Some of the ill practices against women have been eliminated thanks to the open-minded and good citizens who raised their voices against unjust practices against women. Over the years, it has been established that bigueña’s participation in decision-making improves economic outcomes, encourages higher investment in social protection, and leads to more lasting peace and climate action. They can attain their greatest potential when they live in a safe, joyful, and productive environment. They can contribute their abilities to the workforce while also raising happier and healthier kids. Empowering bigueña means supporting them with the resources they need to take charge of their own life. Education is one of the most effective tools for empowering bigueña with the knowledge, skills, and self-confidence they need to fully participate in society. Empowering all bigueña must require full and effective involvement and decision-making by women in public life, as well as the elimination of violence.

 

Many of these bigueña are now stuck at home with their abusers and are at higher risk of additional forms of violence. Prior to the pandemic, it was projected that one out of every three women would face violence at some point in their lives. The COVID-19 pandemic is having potentially serious implications for women's and girls' health around the nation. Unlike in the past, they have a voice. Bigueña can make significant life decisions. Domestic violence has been fought by bigueña. They campaign against sexual harassment and inequality in the workplace as well. Many gender-related movements have emerged, and many social organizations are currently fighting for women's rights. Also in barangay areas, they are gaining strength to speak for themselves. Bigueña have become more self-reliant as a result of education, and they do no longer have to rely on men to lead their lives. They have the ability to assert their true rights in society.

In recent decades, the presence of women in the urban and rural workforce has grown dramatically. Women's formal and informal labour can turn a group from a largely self-sufficient society into a contributor to the national economy. More bigueña are now joining bigueño-dominated fields such as politics, the legal system, police, soldiers and other fields. Empowering them can also contribute to the development of sustainable economies, as well as benefit society and humanity itself. Empowering bigueña is important for the health and development of families, communities, and nations.

 

COVID-19 has also demonstrated the importance of bigueña leadership, since then they have largely kept the virus transmission rates low and put the city on the road to recovery. Empowering all bigueña require full and effective involvement and decision-making by them in public life, as well as the elimination of violence. In all aspects of their lives, empowered bigueña have independence, equitable opportunity, and the ability to make strategic decisions.

Sacrifices and Efforts

  As a student, I need to be responsible with my studies. My first impression about the modular learning were I can spent less time accomplishing the task needed to answer and it is easier to understand for all the notes were printed on the modules. I thought that it is more convenient to learn under the modular learning but there are many difficulties that I have faced during my modular learning. Based on my experience, modules has been very challenging and intellectually fulfilling as I have learned a whole lot, and acquired a number of skills, just by doing it. I am having a hard time answering the modules specifically on those topics which are not familiar to me or doesn’t have enough knowledge about the topic. Some topics were difficult to understand and there are tasks that are difficult to answer because the examples from the concept notes aren’t enough or far from the given in the task which is needed to be answer and sometimes I need to search it from the internet to...
