Question 1

In 2009, the Philippines Parliament (Congress) introduced the ‘Magna Carta for Women’ (MCW) also known as the Republic Act 9710. This Act was intended to end all forms of discrimination against women by giving them equal rights in respect to marriage and divorce, inheritance and property ownership (housing, land, business), equal access to education and employment (including gender quotas in the public sector, police force and local development bodies) as well as giving them protection against other forms of discrimination, such as unequal pay, gender-based violence, etc. The act was specifically intended to eliminate ‘traditional’ gender roles and practices that treated men and women differently in law, in the economy and in politics.
