They say women have come a long way. We even have a woman president. Women in the media are no longer limited to bikini-clad horseback riders not to duster-clad matrons (though these characters are still very much around). Instead, we have already seen on TV Filipino women working in offices or even changing their flat tire. Little girl s can dream of becoming chemist and not just nurses. In the corporate world, women are actively in the rat race. While in the government, women’s issues have become little more than something of a novelty as more and more officials boasts of pro-women positions.
This situation shows a growing a realization and acceptance of the fact that women are emerging into a potent movement able to assert and stand for their rights and aspiration. Needles to say, positions women find themselves in today is borne out of decade of struggle and resistance
