2

T h e M a g n a C a r ta o f Wo m e n ( M C W ) m ove s fo r t h e empowerment of women in all spheres of development. It seeks to eliminate discrimination through the recognition, protection, fulfillment and promotion of the rights of Filipino women, especially those belonging in the marginalized sectors of society

The MCW promotes gender equality which plays a pivotal role in the fight against poverty. Through its provisions, the MCW levels up the playing field by making productive resources and economic opportunities equally available for both men and women

3

Generally, women do not control family properties and decision-making rights on the use of income, further limiting opportunities to break the poverty cycle. Women tend to be concentrated in so-called ‘women’s roles’ such as sweeping or collecting rubbish, or in jobs that require manual dexterity, which are lower paid than other jobs.

In many countries, women being promoted, even to line supervisor status is a rarity.

4

v To ensure that women’s rights as individuals and as workers are not abused.

v To ensure that discrimination is not practiced within supply chains

v To improve women’s ability --- through better skills, confidence and wages --- to support their families and communities.

Better jobs for women --- employment that leads to higher wages and greater decision-making --- also have a positive influence on the ways of household spend money on children’s nutrition, health and education”

5

a) Cultural norms in many cultures (including Western cultures)

b) Perceptions of women and their role and status in society are deeply embedded; these may lead to lower pay, lack of voice, fewer opportunities, sexual abuse and other forms of discrimination.

c) Domestic pressures: part of those cultural norms is the assumption that the woman is responsible for child-care, domestic chores, care of elderly or sick relatives, etc. This adds to women’s burden of work overall and can hinder their progress in the workplace.

6

In support of the Magna Carta of Women, the Upliftment of Women Workers Mission through its projects continue to promote the following:

vWomen empowerment

v Restore women’s dignity

v Educate women

Through its plans and programs for the rest of 2019
