Jerrie AbellaThe narrative of women’s age-old oppression is a long and nuanced history of cruelty and subjugation, of Middle East women raped and their families butchered, of American women forced into the forefront of wars of aggression, of women and children from Third World countries coerced into working under inhumane conditions, or peddled like commodities in sex trades.

Rizza Leonzon On a lazy afternoon, Julie scrambles to assemble her circuit boards, not inside a spacious and lavish laboratory room but in the expanse of their living room. Circuit boards are no school homework or past-time, for Julie is neither a student nor a teacher. She is a mother of two children and her home also happens to be her workplace. Apparently, Julie isn’t the

Kristine Filler Servando After almost a year of waiting, a young Filipina named “Nicole” finally saw justice served when her rapist, Lance Corporal Daniel Smith, an American serviceman was convicted and jailed in December last year. Yet this does not take away the pain she suffered. It was the rape trial and the media frenzy that projected “Nicole” into the limelight that took

Rowena Caronan An eight-year old girl once asked her mother what are synthetic jewels. Like any other typical mother, she answered, “It’s man-made.” Her daughter replied, “Then it could also be woman-made…? As it turned out, her daughter wasn’t any ordinary girl; she had but a critical eye on gender issues. However, this didn’t surprise the mother at any rate. She is, after all, no different

Erika Sheena Serrano They looked like a happy family. No one would believe otherwise if they happen to see Evelyn, Ronald and their little girl Julia in their spacious living room two days before Christmas.
