Women Empowerment means power in the hands of women. It signifies that women should be given equal opportunity in every field, irrespective of any discrimination. Women Empowerment is the process that creates power in women to live a happy and respectable life in a society. Women are empowered when they can access opportunities in a variety of fields such as in education, profession, lifestyle, etc., without any limitations and restrictions. It also includes the authority to take decisions. When a woman makes a crucial decision, she feels empowered.

 


The first Biguenian that I interviewed owned a business that was hit hard during the pandemic. But in spite of that she did her best to start again and find ways to feed her family. Once the lockdown in Ilocos Sur eased, she started to sell delicacies from different provinces in Luzon. From Laoag to Manila she bought their delicacies and brought them to Vigan to sell them and it greatly benefitted her. The second and Last Biguenian I interviewed was an owner of a computer shop. She was forced to shut her business because of the pandemic. When she caught wind that DepEd might be considering allowing online classes, she ordered laptops. When the time came that many people needed laptops because of the online classes, she was ready and greatly benefitted from it. History says that women were ill-treated. The Sati Pratha in the ancient times to the girl child abortion in the present scenario, women continue facing such violence. Not only this, heinous crimes against women such as rape, acid attack, dowry system, honour killing, domestic violence, etc., are still happening in India. To think that people look lower at women because of their sex is disgusting because we were all crafted the same by God and we were made to care and love each other.

 

Women can be empowered in various ways. It can be done through government schemes as well as on an individual basis. At the individual level, we should start respecting women and start giving them opportunities equal to men. Women are just the same as men, we are all smart and bright and we should respect one another.

  Let’s start of with some history to this celebration, The Naturales of Vigan chose “Tres de Mayo” of 1883 in honor of Apo Lakay of the Simbaan a Bassit as an act of thanksgiving for having saved Vigan from a deadly epidemic in 1756. It evolved from this and majestically transformed today as the most colorful and significant festival to Bigueños as it focuses on the remembrance of Apo Lakay’s deliverance as well as promoting the local fabric, Abel Iloco. Along with the street pageantry of the Binatbatan Street Dancing, it also emphasizes Agriculture with its Karbo festival, Calesa Parade and the Santacruzan.                   We continue to celebrate this historic event which took place a hundred years ago. This shows our dedication to keeping our culture alive and never forgetting what happened back then. Even though the pandemic rages on, e continue to celebrate but also follow the health safety ...

Women Empowerment

  During the month of March, we give a little extra attention to all the amazing accomplishments of strong, determined women. Women should have the same rights as men and be free and not enslaved by men. We are all human and there is no difference.                   Women should be empowered and be able to express what they want. Being able to vote, having the same rights as a man and being treated the same. These are things that should have been in place for a long time but because of standards back then they were not. Now that we are in the 21 st century it is enjoying seeing that everybody is equal, no one is higher than another. God created us and he did not look at one sex higher than the other, in his eyes we are all the same and we should continue that.                   Empowering girls and women is powerful...

TIME IS RUNNING OUT

  Every three seconds, the world loses enough forest to cover a football pitch and over the last century, we have destroyed half of our wetlands. As much as 50 percent of our coral reefs have already been lost and up to 90 percent of coral reefs could be lost by 2050, even if global warming is limited to an increase of 1.5°C. COVID-19 emergence and spread has highlighted how shrinking the area of natural habitat for animals, can create ideal conditions for pathogens – including coronaviruses – to spread. This World Environment Day, we focus on ecosystem restoration and its theme is “Reimagine. Recreate. Restore.” Ecosystem restoration means healing nature and reversing the damage caused by humans. This World Environment Day will also kick off the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030), a global mission to revive billions of hectares, from forests to farmlands, from the top of mountains to the depth of the sea.   We don’t have much time left to save nature. Every mo...
