Women's rights in the Duterte era | Deciphering The Philippines with Atom Araullo

The Philippines is in the top 10 of the world's most gender-equal nations, but could President Duterte be rolling this back? Atom Araullo meets women responding to this era of "toxic masculinity".
==========================
ABOUT THE SHOW: Filipino journalist Atom Araullo has reported from some of the most extreme corners of the Philippines. This time, he heads out to find a nation going through extraordinary change. From the rise of extrajudicial killings to gun-toting priests, from the obsession with beauty queens to the divisions caused by a president accused of being a misogynist, our intrepid host criss-crosses this expansive archipelago to uncover the hot button issues affecting and defining the Philippines today. In each episode, Atom navigates the complex topics of faith, gun culture, land, and women in the Duterte era - by going deep into the worlds of those driving and living with the political, social and cultural upheavals in his country.

It's a very delicate assignment, but Atom's journalistic narrative delivered a very strong statement that should wake the Filipino people up and fight for everyone's right to be respected and treated with dignity.

[@kimiantumblod7654]

Bakla ka po ba?

[@kkklover89]

Women can still vote. Women can still purchase property. Women can still travel. What women's rights did duterte roll back? These journalists(atom aurollo) and women got their panties in a twist because duterte said some offensive jokes.

[@kimiantumblod7654]

That's the problem with feminists, they have this victim mentality.

[@Venus-dg6vi]

Filipinos fighting for their rights? Are you kidding? That will never happen. They fight to make things worse. When they want a better life they take the plane and go in the West.

[@lethologicaa]

Those who are saying na the documentary only focused on one side of the coin, did you really watched everything? It is clear that he interviewed Duterte Supporters, even a senator who is DDS was part of the documentary, hence it's not biased at all. And stop using the "he came from an oligarch company" card that's plain bullshit. He left ABS-CBN for a reason.

[@xerenagalvez5963]

Well-documented, Sir Atom! Naipakita ang iba't-ibang side at opinion about women in Duterte's regency. Very informative for me na naghahanap ng status of women dito sa Philippines.

[@Victoria-ur2px]

this is so concerning, women who can't see that other women are suffering from discrimination and low protection from society just because they "support" the President, sabagay di siguro nila nararanasan ma catcall, di ma hire sa isang job dahil babae at hindi mapakinggan just because you are a female. Indeed we must choose leaders who are capable and can give justice to this society.

[@jaminavestajugo3456]

Well done! This feature looks at the issue from many angles. One bit of constructive criticism: the Philippines being a "great place to be a woman" at least prior to the Duterte admin isn't super easy to prove. The two women Presidents didn't necessarily do a lot for women's rights. Also the indicators used to prove that the Philippines is gender-equal tend to be about checking *if* there are laws to protect women. It's not the same as saying that those laws are actually enforced, and the culture itself respects women. The fact that one President was able to do so much damage indicates that women's rights protections weren't that stable in the first place.

@Some corrupted dude who's racist “I looked at her face - son of a b*tch - what a waste,” he said. “What came to mind was, they raped her, they lined up. I was angry because she was raped, that’s one thing... but she was so beautiful, the mayor should have been first. What a waste.” this is what he said about a woman who is gangraped.

[@marcaspiras5539]

Great documentary, Atom! Congratulations!

[@abrion7342]

If an ordinary man say or do that to a woman, then he will be surely arrested for sexual harassment. How can the parents and teachers explain it to the kids about these actions when their leader admitted it in public? Maybe I’m wrong, Maybe it’s a joke but I think it’s not appropriate to utter those words in front of the nation. It’s not funny at all.

[@edgelegaspi]

Grabe yung pagpipigil ni Atom kay Villar. Kung ako yan, nabigwasan ko na yang matapobreng yan e

[@lala102085]

Kudos Atom! Thank you for this well-crafted documentary.

[@pgko7123]

Parang kulto lang: "Ayoko may magalit sa kanya". Masyadong concerned sa person instead of seeing him being the leader of a country. Tsk tsk. Kawawang Pilipinas.

[@alvinsmith3894]

Parang sa gender cult lang actually.

[@randomlyjian498]

We all must be feminist. Women won't have to fight for their rights, if at the first place the system doesn't favor more to men. Men won't have to act as the "men" society labeled them to be, if they pave way for more equity. The real problem is the misogynistic and patriarchal system, and that's what we must change.

Love Jihad & Women's Rights Are people who are fighting against Love Jihaad advocating only a certain people should marry only certain people? No. Any person is free to marry whoever HE/SHE is willing to marry. It's a free World. But the problem here is, A Muslim girl marrying a Hindu boy, or a Muslim boy marrying a Hindu girl - The law system in India is such that Muslims are given an exception to enjoy the personal laws & these personal laws are in so many respects are Anti Hindu, they have not had the kind of reforms took place in so far as that of Hindu laws are concerned. This puts all the Non - Muslim women who choose to marry a Muslim - boy at a disadvantage. So Non Muslim girl if chooses to marry whether out of intention/fraudulence, A Muslim boy, she will loose the right to, (i) Property, the way she would had enjoyed if she were not married a Muslim boy, (ii) She will loose right to divorce, (iii) She will loose right to Inheritance, Succession etc. in ways she would enjoy if she has not married a Muslim boy......

Incentives for individuals availing families planning methods.
