Section 13, Magna Carta of Women: Awareness, Problems, and Prospects
Keywords:
gender and development, magna carta of women, awareness, problems, prospectsAbstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the degree of awareness and problems of the female faculty and GAD implementers of JRMSU on the provisions of Section 13 of the Magna Carta of Women, utilizing quantitative research design making use of a standardized test of the Gender and Development Survey Questionnaire. Scores were totaled, calculated, and statistical methods such as frequency count, percent, mean, and Chi-square were used to further analyze and interpret the data. Findings of the study revealed that female faculty and GAD implementers were well aware of the provisions of the law and rarely experienced problems, except for the opportunities to grow and contact information. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the level of awareness of the respondents as to age, civil status, highest level of education, employment status, and designation but not on college. There was no significant difference as to the problems they met based on their profile. This means that the GAD Offices on the five campuses played an increased focus on informing the faculty members concerning the Magna Carta of Women, but some programs as to professional growth and opportunities are less considered. Thus, this study recommended that an information campaign video which focuses on the rights of women, including their benefits on leave, steps on how to avail it, as well as the hotlines, contact numbers, or contact person who is in charge of the programs initiated by the GAD Office, as well as the scholarship programs, faculty development programs, etc., may be developed and posted on the official social media platforms of the colleges.
