 RACIAL DISCRIMINATION

Racism and racial discrimination

We also have a legacy of racism -- particularly among Indigenous people, and

among other groups as well, including African, Chinese, Japanese, South Asian,
Jewish and Muslim Canadians.

Racism is a broader experience and practice than racial discrimination. Racism

is a belief that one group is better than another. Racism can be openly
expressed in jokes, or racial insults, or racially motivated crimes.

beliefs, values, and behavior that are often handed down from one generation to
the next.

experiences discrimination, degradation of resource bases, and armed
conflict. Ip communities, generally located in distinct ancestral territories, have
high rates of unemployment, underemployment, and illiteracy.

"unfair, differential treatment on the basisof race of race or ethnicity.

GENDER ISSUES

Gender equality must be achieved personally, institutionally and

programmaticallyfor real change to occur.

SEX AND GENDER

Sex is a biological status men and women born with .

Gender refers to how boys and girls socialized differently to become productive
members of their culture.

GENDER SENSITIVE

on shared power nd not using those roles to have power over another and
restrict his or her personal growth and self-discrimination. Not discriminating or
stereotyping on the bases of sex or gender.

EQUALITY AND EQUITY

EQUALITY is a goal to which we can aspire .

EQUITY means fairness, i.e., finding ways to help the disadvantaged and
disempowered "catch up" with their more actualized fellow humans through
opportunities for development and control over their lives.

EMPOWERMENT

The process by which women and men achieve skills, confidence and support to
determine their own lives and make their own choices. It is the state in which
people have access to resources and opportunities to control thoer own future.

Women's Rights Statistics

- 1 in 3 women across the world experienceing violence.

- 38% of all murdered women are killed by their intimate partners.

- Women make up just 22% of parliamentarians.

- Only 4% of signatories in 31 major peace processes between 1992 and 2011

were women.

- 7.4% of countries have had female heads of states over the past years.

IN THE PHILIPPINES...

- World Bank identified the Philippines as a wolrd leader in gender equality.

- 55 of Filipino lawmakers, seniors officials and managers are females (2007 -

2011).

STATISTICS WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT GAY & TRANSGENDER

- 4% up to 10% of the Population is Gay.

ACADEMICS

- LGBT students at schools are much more likely to report harassment to school
authorities.

HEALTH

- Gay teens are 8.4 times more likely to report having attempted suicicide that is
5.9 times more likely to report high levels of Depression.

- LGBT youth who reported higher levels of family rejection during adolescence
are three times more likely to use illegal drugs.

- Half of gay males experience a negative parental reaction when they come out
and in 26% of those thrown out of the home.

HARRASSMENT & VIOLENCE

Nearly a fifth of a students are physically assaulted because of their

sexual orientation and over a tenth because of ther gender expression.

About 2/3 of LGBT students reported having ever been sexually harassed
in school in the passed years. Students who were frequently physically harassed
because of their sexual orientation was half a grade lower than other students.

- In the present day, The Philippines has been ranked one of the most gay-
friendly nations in the world and is the most gay-friendly in Asia. In a survey of
39 countries (only 17 of which had a majority accepting homosexuality), the
Philippines were the 10th most gay-friendly. The survey, "The Global Divide on
Homosexuality" conducted by the US-based Pew Research Center, showed that
73 percent of adult Filipinos agreed that "homosexuality should be accepted by
society" (up from 64 percent in 2002).

- The Philippine media and show business scene—encompassing film, radio,

and television—comprises a vital part of LGBT culture in terms of representation.
Prominent celebrities including Vice Ganda and Boy Abunda are all featured in
major programs and are often tapped to endorse major products and services.
In 2004, the Republic of the Philippines Movie and Television Review and
Classification Board (MTRCB) disseminated a memorandum calling homosexual
relationships—particularly lesbian relationships—an "abnormality of human
nature", discouraging producers from broadcasting any sort of portrayals that
promoted these relationships. While there are still several LGBT personalities in
show business, as well as LGBT characters in films and television programs in
the Philippines, notices such as these have limited particular LGBT portrayals in
the Philippine media. While there is an acknowledgement of LGBT people, there
is also a lack of understanding, leading to stereotyped portrayals dominating the
media.
For the gay Filipino man, two main stereotypes have been revealed in studies to
be dominantly presented in media. There is the feminine gay who often cross-
dresses, demonstrates stereotypically feminine actions and speech, and is
attracted to stereotypically masculine men. The following films have portrayals of
the feminine gay:

 Rainbow Sunset
 Panti Sisters
 Petrang Kabayo

In contrast to this is the masculine gay portrayal, where the men still appear
stereotypically masculine but are attracted to the same sex. A cited example of
this is the film In My Life (2009).
Lesbianism in Philippine media has also been studied with two common
stereotypes emerging: the butch and the femme. The two are often seen in a
butch-femme dichotomy, where in a lesbian couple one assumes the traditional
roles of the masculine-male and the feminine-female, respectively. Femme-to-
femme relationships, when depicted, have been shown more often as abused or
ridiculed couples in a more heteronormative society. The following teleseries are
recent portrayals of femme-to-femme lesbian relationships in the Philippines:

 The Rich Man's Daughter (2015)

 Baka Bukas (2016)

Die Beautiful, a 2016 comedy-drama narrating the life (and death) of a

transgender beauty queen, was entered into the 2016 Metro Manila Film
Festival and won two awards at the Tokyo International Film Festival in 2016.
LGBT representation outside of television and films has been made through
existence of gay beauty pageants such as Miss Gay Philippines. It is in this
competition that all manner of gays, men or women, as well as transgender and
bisexuals are eligible to enter, granted that they first meet the
qualifications/requirements of the pageant. However, the organization of these
events has been met with controversy in certain cases. For example, in 2013, at
the 9th Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival awards, transgender
woman Mimi Juareza was still considered under the "male" category as Best
Actor and referred to with the pronoun "he".
In August 2021, Manila Luzon (a contestant from RuPaul's Drag Race)
announced that a Philippine drag compitition series was in the works, with the
casting call open. The series was later called Drag Den with eight drag queens
competing. Afterwards, RuPaul announced a casting call for a Philippine
adaptation of RuPaul's Drag Race named Drag Race Philippines, which included
twelve drag queens competing.
