This book was released on with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph has two parts: (1) a paper on the impact of populism on gender equality in the Philippines, written by INCITEGov chairperson Teresita Quintos Deles in December 2018; and (2) the two speeches that she delivered before the Subcommittee on International Human Rights (SDIR) of the Canadian House of Commons in April and July 2019, respectively.

Up to this date of publication, September 2020, the political force of populism examined in these papers remains and persists to erode the foundation of democratic rights and gender equality. This series of papers serve to bring insights to the discourse on populism and momentum for enlightened citizens to reclaim hard-won democratic rights.

Download or read book COVID 19 EveryWoman s Feminist Response and Recovery Plan written by Sylvia Estrada Claudio and published by PILIPINA, EveryWoman. This book was released on 2021-01-20 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EveryWoman, a coalition of women’s organizations and formations (currently numbering 11), combined with individual women affiliates and backed up by a FaceBook Page (with more than 100,000 followers), was formally organized in August, 2017, for the purpose of defending democracy and upholding women’s rights and dignity at a time when these are under severe attack not only in the Philippines but globally. We had come together, cutting across diverse socioeconomic, ethnic, professional, ideological, and generational backgrounds, to propel organized pushback against the further erosion of civic (also civil) space and of the status and rights that Filipino women have fought hard to attain and have won over the years. As such, our actions in the past years have tended towards the loud and dramatic – in the streets, in public fora, in stinging public statements, often joining our voice with those of our allied Hubs in Tindig Pilipinas. A book had no space in our crowded blueprint for 2020. But then the COVID-19 pandemic happened. As with everyone else, EveryWoman’s world was turned upside down. Needing to get back our bearings – personally, organizationally, politically – we started discussions to try to understand the situation better, including the nature of this global health crisis, how it was affecting different aspects of our national life, how it was especially reshaping women’s lives on the ground, how government was responding (or not), the role of the private sector and other institutions, the plight of ordinary citizens. We probed our own areas of work and engagement. We invited friends and colleagues where we needed help. We saw it to be our responsibility to continue to surface and strengthen women’s perspectives and agency in these difficult and extraordinary times. And, thus, this book was born, emerging from every woman talking to each other and claiming our space to speak up and be heard, intent to make a difference – especially since we saw no women at the frontlines of the national task force set up by the President to respond to the crisis.

Download or read book Women and the Duterte Anti Drug Carnage Grieving Healing Breaking Through written by ELEANOR R. DIONISIO and published by PILIPINA, with support from INCITEGov. This book was released on 2020-10-02 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, women's organization PILIPINA chronicles the stories of 19 women — wives, mothers, daughters, among others — who were left behind by the drug-related killings. "The women in our stories have become part of a new underclass among the urban poor: ostracized and isolated by their neighbors, threatened by barangay officials and their loved ones’ murderers, vulnerable to sexual exploitation by police and drug lords and their own kin. But they are also actively dealing with their situation, taking charge of their own lives and those of their families."

Download or read book ILANG TAONG BAKWIT written by Maria Carmen (Ica) Fernandez and published by INCITEGov. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oct. 17, 2021 marks the fourth year since the liberation of Marawi was declared. Yet, the unfinished reconstruction of the city after the 2017 crisis, resulting in the protracted displacement of hundreds of thousands of residents, is a major humanitarian and security issue that the Philippines is in danger of forgetting. In this report, Ica Fernandez synthesizes findings from a rapid review of humanitarian, development, peacebuilding, and security programs implemented as part of post-Marawi crisis efforts from 2017 to 2020. The review finds that the Philippine government has not yet substantially completed its commitments towards the city’s reconstruction; the Marawi Compensation Bill, without which many residents will not be able to rebuild their homes, is still pending in Congress. As of publication, the TFBM targets to complete roads and public infrastructure in the most affected area (MAA) by December 2021. --- This report was commissioned by INCITEGov with support from Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) Philippines to assist ongoing efforts by Maranao civil society organizations for a peaceful citizen-led return of displaced residents to the Islamic City of Marawi. The review was conducted from August to September 2020 and synthesized existing data and reports collected by relevant bodies in the House of Representatives and the Bangsamoro Transition Authority, as well as reports from media, donor agencies, and civil society. The analysis also draws from a supplementary Marawi budget and expenditure review conducted by the Institute for Leadership, Empowerment, and Democracy (iLEAD). Preliminary findings were presented in an exclusive online forum with Maranao civil society partners on 19 October 2020 titled Tatlong Taong Bakwit.

Download or read book Populism and Civil Society written by Mr.Tito Boeri and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-11-16 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Populists claim to be the only legitimate representative of the people. Does it mean that there is no space for civil society? The issue is important because since Tocqueville (1835), associations and civil society have been recognized as a key factor in a healthy liberal democracy. We ask two questions: 1) do individuals who are members of civil associations vote less for populist parties? 2)does membership in associations decrease when populist parties are in power? We answer thesequestions looking at the experiences of Europe, which has a rich civil society tradition, as well as of Latin America, which already has a long history of populists in power. The main findings are that individuals belonging to associations are less likely by 2.4 to 4.2 percent to vote for populist parties, which is large considering that the average vote share for populist parties is from 10 to 15 percent. The effect is strong particularly after the global financial crisis, with the important caveat that membership in trade unions has unclear effects.
