good day
i am going to talk about republic act
7192
or the women in development and nation
building act
so this republic act 7192 is an act
promoting the integration of women as
full and equal partners of men in
development in nation building and for
other purposes
well during the early years women were
not entitled to the same rights and
privileges
as of men
women were not even allowed
to vote and were usually required to
surrender
all of their property to their husband
upon marriage
moreover
their educational and occupational
opportunities were severely limited
it was commonly believed that a woman's
place
was in the home
raising children
and tending to domestic affairs
well women's greater role in nation
building can lead to economic and
political stability in post-conflict
countries so women's participation in
post-conflict nation building
is an important ingredient in achieving
an equitable peaceful and a more
prosperous society
so the state recognizes the role of the
women in asian building and shall ensure
the fundamental equality before the law
of women and men
the state shall provide women
rights and opportunities equal to that
of men
so this republic act
sets into motion the allocation of a
certain percentage of official
development assistance for gender
concerns
the law has likewise been the starting
point of what is now known as
the gender and development budget policy
so it specifically mandates all
government departments offices bureaus
and agencies
to set aside at least five percent of
their total budget
and this ra 17 7192 was then signed into
law by the president corazon c aquino on
12 february 1992.
now how are we going to attain the
policy
number one a substantial portion of
funds receive
from foreign governments and
multilateral agencies an organization
shall be set aside and utilized by the
agencies concerned to support programs
and activities for women
two all government departments shall
ensure that women benefit equally and
also participate directly in the
development programs and projects of
said department specifically funded
under official foreign development
assistance to ensure the full
participation and involvement of women
in the development process
all government departments and agencies
shall review
and revise all the regulations circulars
issuances and procedures to remove
gender bias they're in
who is responsible agency
so the
national economic and development
authority or the neda as stipulated in
section 3
shall be the one responsible for
ensuring the participation of women as
recipients in foreign aid grants and
loans it shall determine and recommend
the amount to be allocated to the
development activity
involving women
the mandate in section 4 with assistance
of the national commission on the role
of filipino women the neda shall ensure
that the different government
departments including its agencies
instrumentalities which directly or
indirectly affect the participation of
women in national development and their
integration they're in number one
formulate and prioritize rural or
countryside development programs one it
specifically provides income and
employment opportunities to women and
rural areas and thus prevent their heavy
migration from rural urban
or a foreign country
number two it includes
an assessment of the extent to which
their programs
and
their projects so
number two integrates women in the
development process of the impact of
safe programs or projects in women
including their implications in
enhancing the self-reliance of women
in order to improve their income
number three it ensures the active
participation of women and women's
organizations in the development
programs in our projects
so number three this includes their
involvement in the planning
design implementation management
monitoring and the evaluation thereof of
these organizations and projects
number four
it assists women in activities that are
of critical significance to their
self-reliance and development so this is
proportionate to either their
traditional participation in the
targeted activities of their proportion
of the population whichever is higher
otherwise the following
should be stated in the program or
paper
proposal or strategy
section 5 equality in capacity to acts
so
women of legal age regardless of civil
status shall have the capacity to act
and to enter into contracts which shall
in every respect be equal to that of men
under similar circumstances
so women shall have the capacity to
borrow and obtain loans and execute
security and credit arrangement under
the same conditions as men so in all
contractual situations where married men
have the capacity to act married women
shall also have equal rights
so number two women shall have equal
access to all government and private
sector programs granting agricultural
credit loans and non-material resources
and shall enjoy equal treatment in

private sector programs

rights to act as incorporators
and enter into insurance contracts
number four married women shall have

shall in every respect be equal to those
of men under similar circumstances

the needs of the services

all military or similar schools of the
armed forces of the philippines and the
national
