Women face different problems in seeking of political and social equality. Women
are involved in all parts of society, but some matters affect and touch women more than
others. From gender-based violence, right to vote, free from discrimination, and given
opportunities and rights as men.

An elderly woman, whom I asked about the problems they deal and pressed
towards them in their younger years, she said, “women those times struggles in the right
to vote, also with the right to go to work and even to voice out our concerns.” They only
do thing, in the house, caring children and husband. These problems stated back during
early colonization of the country. From Spanish colonization, women had lesser
freedom and rights. The role of a woman is to prepare food to her husband and
household doings. Women had to follow many rules and regulations from their husband.
In which until during 1900’s those less freedom and rights remains. They don’t have the
time to show their capabilities even if they are women, because of how society and men
sees them. And as another generation comes in, where the equality and rights were
tackled, women have courage to say and defend their selves. But, although women
have already courage to stand up, there are still problems, until today women still faced.
And today’s issue/problem faced by women is violence, violence against women, the
unequal power relationship between women and men otherwise known as
“gender-based violence”. In this generation, some women were still being beaten and
were harassed, either by the family or with their work related. In which, it could result a
psychological or physical harm to them. They were taking unequally by the society.
Those who are affected, remains silent to the society, because they are afraid to others
if they will share it. The realities on how women were still abused, discriminate and
harassed. That is why, there are laws, protecting women from the society.

These challenges faced by women on different generations, proved that the


equality and rights of women in the society, still on process because women need to
prove that they too like men who have abilities to do work like them. They are also had
abilities and capabilities like us men in different aspects. Women also part in the society
and should take it equally to others. And women now have laws that protect them from
violence, have rights and the equality that they pushed through in the society.
