The question is:
“What is ‘Women Empowerment’ to you?”
These are the netizens’ answers and comments to the question:
- from Karen D. Itable-Rosco: Women Empowerment “having equal rights and freedom as men..and making the right decisions without restrictions…”
- from Dr. Fe Marfe Jimenez: Respect women in her capacity same as men do.
- from Dr. BM Wailers: Dili libakera ug dili sad sige ug pangdaot sa isig ka tawo, labaw sa tanan, dili plastic. Kay kung wala ka ani, you can inspire others.
- from Mėē Mąï: A woman’s will to choose to fly, and is able to do so, despite all adversities.
- from Marvee Anthony Sumaylo: The ability to overcome and realize the potential that women can do better than men. Please don’t sell yourself short with just equality. Women world leaders like Ardern and Merkel have been doing a better job in this pandemic than men, and I’ll be first to admit it.
- from Judith Uy Sumatra: According to Google, Women’s empowerment can be defined to promoting women’s sense of self-worth, their ability to determine their own choices, and their right to influence social change for themselves and others.
- from Leah Marchil: To be bigger than what the world dictates what a woman should be. To get to choose whether or not to be in a relationship or not, who to love, the work I want to do, to have kids or not, what to wear. To be able to choose who to become or who to not become.
- from May Emerald to Ardy Ines Araneta Batoy: Mam Ards, ‘Happy Women’s Day On this special day, take the opportunity to appreciate your female colleagues and let them know how much they are valued’. Women Empowerment💗 Women can create high-level corporate leadership for gender equality and treat all people fairly at work, respecting and supporting non-discrimination and human rights. Most of all accept, understand and correct the flaws of others directly to the person concern in a positive ways and see the good works of others and spread the good news. (Dili libakera).
- from Lourdes Aida Cagas Batoy: Stand tall woman you are what the universe is all about.
- from Eden Ruth Paigan-Awil: I’m not sure how today’s culture wishes to define it now. But one thing I am sure of, women empowerment has absolutely NOTHING to do with highlighting women’s achievements by diminishing men’s roles in society. #crabmentality is not its definition. Oh and 1 more point. A woman can choose to be a housewife and still be empowered.
- from Atty. Ren Par: Hi hi hi hi himoon sila sundaw pa atubangon sa nga kontra nato, sa natad sa panggubatan hangtud mangamatay sila ha ha ha ha ..
from Ardy Ines Araneta Batoy to Atty. Ren Par: Hahaha bujag simbako tawn atty oi
