Nearly 20M Filipino women now ‘economically insecure’ – research group
By JANESS ANN J. ELLAO
MANILA – Nearly a year since the lockdown has been imposed, a women’s research center said the number of economically-insecure Filipino women has climbed by 3.5 million, following the loss of jobs, absence of due social protection, and the continuing neoliberal policies that have long been detrimental to the poor even before the pandemic.
In a presentation a week before the International Working Women’s Day, the Center for Women’s Resources (CWR) highlighted that economically-insecure Filipino women have increased from 16 million in 2019 to an estimated number of 19.54 million in 2020.
