Wanita di Filipina

Peran wanita di Filipina terpampang berdasarkan pada konteks pemikiran, standar dan budaya Filipina. Filipina disebut sebagai negara dengan wanita yang kuat, yang secara langsung dan tidak langsung menjalankan unti keluarga, usaha, badan pemerintah dan lahan.

Ini berada dalam wadah struktur hierarkial Filipina, perbedaan kelas, justifikasi agama, dan kehidupan dalam negara berkembang secara global di mana wanita Filipina dihormati juga oleh pria. Dibandingkan dengan bagian lainnya dari Asia Tenggara, wanita dalam masyarakat Filipina selalu menikmati pembagian kesetaraan yang lebih besar.Clamonte, Nitz.

Women could own property and rule the people, act as leaders of rites and ceremonies of the society, and divorce their husbands..."; "The Conquistadors and the friars quickly changed this with the European model, where women's place was at home and not in prominent positions. As a consequence, during hundreds of years, education was given only to upper class girls, who were trained to become beautiful, submissive, capable to stitch embroidery, and suitable to marriage. The nun institution offered the only possibility for a career and teaching was the only educated occupation allowed to them..."
