Some insights here – even if there are certain laws in place protecting Filipinos, especially women, from gender-based discrimination like the Safe Spaces Act, women still face systemic barriers, according to Gabriela Representative Arlene Brosas. Some are forced into unstable jobs, and refrain from joining unions.

Also note on women OFWs: some 69.8% of them are in elementary jobs (e.g. domestic work), which means they are less paid than other workers, and more vulnerable to exploitation.
