from the United Nations Development Programme found that almost all or 99.5% of Filipinos hold biases against women.
Broken down by gender, Filipino women who hold biases against their gender were just an increment higher – at 99.67%, compared to men who had biases at 99.33%. The UNDP’s Gender Social Norms Index measured biases against women based on their attitudes towards women’s roles in four dimensions: political, economic, educational, and physical integrity. Survey participants indicated whether they agreed with statements like “men make better political leaders than women,” or “men should have more right to a job than women.”
The Philippines was among the countries which saw an increase in people with biases in gender social norms from 2010 to 2022. Worldwide, the study found that there was virtually no progress in eliminating biases against women in the past decade.
