A Comparative Study Between the National Commission on the Role of Filipino Women and the Center for Women’s Resources: Their Effectiveness to Respond to Gender Issues

Abstract

This report would assess the effectiveness of the National Commission on the role of Filipino Women and the Center for Women's Resources to respond to gender issues by identifying some factors that would contribute to the analysis of their effectiveness. To have a full grasp of understanding gender issues, it is significant to identify the roots of these issues to be able to determine the appropriate frameworks and strategies to deal with these. A successful initiation and implementation of development strategies and frameworks for gender issues depend on the crucial roles played by the women's organizations and their networks at the community and national level; thus, the full understanding of gender issues is based on the data collection and research documenting the real situation of women. This study exhibits the complementary roles played by the Government Organizations and the Non-government Organizations to achieve gender equality.
