Project JUANA

So bale kapag lumaki ka sa isang household na very old fashioned, parang sine-set ng mga tao sa paligid mo yung mga dapat mo lang matutunan, like kailangan mo matuto sa paglilinis, sa pagluluto. Pero alam rin natin na marami pa tayong kayang gawin. As a woman, we are more than that.

- Ms. Christine Navarro

“Para kasi sa ibang tao, ang laging basehan ng pagiging babae ay yung biological features niya. For me hindi siya tumutugma kasi para sa akin ang babae ay more than that. Hindi lang yung kanilang sexualidad yung nagiging standard ng kanilang pagkababae.”

- Mx. John Vincent Dimaano

“Hanggang nakasentro yung lipunan sa mga kalalakihan, there wouldn't be a safe space for women to champion her rights in this male dominated society. Hanggang hindi nabubuwag yung patriarchal thinking, nagpapatuloy talaga yung pakikibaka para sa tunay na pagkakapantay-pantay.”

- Ms. Fem Robles

"Hindi lahat ng traditional thinking ng tao ay tama, at may iba talaga sa mga yon ay very toxic na, very outdated na pero as someone na malawak ang pang unawa, ang una dapat nating ginagawa, isipin natin na wala namang pinanganak sa mundo na mulat, walang pinanganak sa mundo na alam na nila lahat. We learned by experience at makukuha lang natin yon (experiences) kung we live our lives.

- Mx. Rina Arellano

"Hanggang ngayon buo pa rin yung gender roles na si babae ay dito, si lalaki ay dito. Why not every role is given for everyone? Kasi ako naniniwala ako na everyone is talented, so lahat ng role at pwedeng galawan ni babae at ni lalaki."

- Ms. Janine Racelis

"We are powerful kasi no matter how many criticisms we take, we always conquer it, we always fight for it - for the rights that we have and of course doon sa mga bagay na dapat deserve natin bilang mga babae".

- Ms. Caryl Balbuena
