Do You Juana...

 

  We live in a world where chaos, wars, discrimination, and inequality is normal. Our world is always changing, what I mean about changing is the people that lives in it and due to these changes that happens in our world many of us will be left out. In the past years of human existence, women are always at the bottom. We are now living in 21st century and questioning women’s abilities, skills, and capabilities are one of the biggest mistakes that you will ever done. Women these days are very different due to the fact that centuries ago, movements of women are very limited and it is very hard. They were not allowed to do anything but household chores, not letting women to study, and many more. In these situations, we cannot see gender equality and men are always believed to be stronger compared to women. To the point wherein men have more opportunities than women because not only a single chance had given to them. Throughout history, women have made extraordinary contributions to their societies. Some are well known, some are less so, but all have been trail blazers.

If men have the opportunities to do the things that they want and not worrying about the consequences of their doings, then maybe women can get the same opportunities and have the chance to show their skills and abilities and what are they really capable of. The question is what women can do or what a Bigueñan women can do. Mother, Wife, Doctor, Nurse, Teacher, Soldier, Police, whatever a woman is, should be respected and be empowered. What Bigueñan women can do especially we are experiencing this ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic. Women during this pandemic is very helpful and also hardworking especially our front liners. They help us in every aspect like disciplining the people, our police and soldier women. Our nurses and doctors, they help us in our health and treated us nicely. I know a Biqueñan woman that her work was really affected by this pandemic and with the hard work and determination that she had, she did not let the pandemic to stop her from working. She started selling plants from Php 100 to Php 200 and her costumers were small. She begun to invest her plants, she trade it to another plant owner and treat the plant until it grows and sell it. With the help of his husband, she is now selling plants from Php 600 to Php 1000. We can really see the hard work and determination of that woman. Women are not just women, they are incredible and some can be your father and also your mother. I know a woman that during this pandemic, she is acting as a mother and a father into her only son. She is brave and hard working woman.

   Many woman are still experiencing less opportunities in their lives, some are not given once. We are all creation of God and we do not have the right to look down on others because we are all the same. We are all crafted by God and we are made to care, to love, and to respect one another. Women empowerment is empowering women. Empowering their self’s worth, their ability to have and determine their own decisions in life, and their right to influence and change the other for the better. It's so important for women self-esteem and also for societies. Empowering women is to give women the right. Women can have equal right to participate in education, society, economy and politically. Women can involve in society as they are glad to choose their religious, language, work and other activities. Several women are known and honoured but I know many are out there fighting for their lives and rights to do the things that they wanted. We witnessed how woman can be strong. We witnessed a determined Bigueñan woman to work hard and fight for their lives in this world. Just like the Bigueñan women said- “I never dreamed about success, I worked for it”.
