QUEZON CITY — We assume that when a woman is in power, she will be a champion of women. Do you, dear readers, think it is true? Are women politicians automatically champions of women’s rights and empowerment?
She recalled: “My grandmother was with us growing up and we had seven girls in our family. We would have been a powerful party if we were taught that women’s rights were important to fight for.” Instead, Oyie and her sisters were taught: “you better learn to cook, to clean, to do certain things appropriate for women, because all of you will get married and had better behave a certain way and don’t really socialize with the guys because that’s not good for decent women.
Male candidates are attacked during campaigns, but women are threatened in a very personal way, and that includes attacks on their whole family. Oyie said that women politicians are asked if they are neglecting their families and if their husbands are “under the saya.” Soc noted, “That’s the kind of climate female leaders must survive. So difficult. Alternatively, to compromise is easier.
