Join us on Saturday, March 29, at 2 pm to 3:30 pm, for a forum on women and job insecurities
MANILA, Philippines (2nd UPDATE) – Let’s face it: gender biases still exist in Philippine society. But how is it affecting a woman’s chance of employment? Does her gender “threaten” her job in any way?
It’s 2014. Are women still facing difficulties in entering a certain industry because of their identities? Do companies hire or reject applicants based on who they are? How do women cope if barriers to job access are put in their paths? How are women able to rise above these difficulties and succeed in their careers?
Yes, it’s 2014. But sometimes, women still face age-old challenges. Do women tinker with their dreams in order to fit certain job requirements, or do they push forward with what they want to achieve despite obstacles?
So many questions, so many issues. But the fact still remains that when it comes to job security, women sometimes feel insecure.
Whether they are gainfully employed, self-employed or underemployed, sometimes gender issues come to play in transactions. Are they looked over in promotions? Are women-led businesses trusted more or trusted less by suppliers? Do they experience bias in some company policies such as leaves?
Insecurity could also seep into women’s personal lives, not just the professional aspect. Is there really such a thing as “work-life balance” especially for working mothers who have to juggle duties in the household and the workplace?
It’s 2014 alright, and it’s time to ask more questions – because we still need answers. How do women whip out such battles? What could agencies do to help women achieve true emancipation in the workplace or job industries? And what do women themselves do to fully emancipate themselves?
To close the celebration of March as Women’s Month, Rappler, together with Pantene, hosted a forum entitled “Work it! A Forum on Gender and Job (In)Security” on Saturday, March 29 at the Asian Institute of Management. –Rappler.com
