dc.description.abstract This community-based research analyzed the lived realities of solo mothers in Barangay East Kamias in Quezon City. A feminist life history model was utilized to serve as a vehicle for voicing out their stories and standpoints through informal semi-structured interviews. The research determined whether these women are seen, heard, and enabled by and of their families, community, & government. It is argued that no one should experience discrimination and live in poverty. The whole study was guided by its main objectives: (1) documentation of their challenges, (2) examination of their coping mechanisms, (3) analysis of their self-image, (4) government efforts, & (5) formation of community-centered recommendations for a comprehensive program. Through a snowball sampling, the 10 collective case studies showcase how these solo mothers struggle with time poverty in association with triple roles & triple burden. The understanding of their needs, conditions, and aspirations was complemented by 5 key informants, journaling, & triangulation of data. The feminization of poverty was underscored through Crenshaw’s framework which discussed how the pandemic exacerbated gender discrimination & inequality against these women. en_US
