 Discrimination/  Low productivity  Prejudices on reproductive health concerns  Vulnerable to abuse and exploitation In addition, Region 11 participants noted that most of these women are not aware if their benefits. Most house helpers for instance are underpaid and do not know the remuneration and benefits they are legally entitled to. Rural women  Most marginalized group lack access to social, health, education, employment services.  Fisher folks lack livelihood during typhoons – it is recommended that they be given alternative livelihood when they are unable to fish due to typhoons.  The beneficiaries of 4Ps do not fully enjoy the benefits because there are reports that some barangay officials claimed shares from the government’s cash support. Issues in Relation to Displacement and/or Development Aggression Based on experiences of the participants (including during Typhoons Yolanda and Pablo, Zamboanga Siege, armed conflicts), women suffer from specific vulnerabilities in times of displacement.  In times of disaster women are the last persons to vacate from natural disasters/conflict area and they are usually burdened with taking care of the entire family. During floods and storms, women are faced with the problem of securing the safety of their family because there are no proper evacuation centers.  During displacement security is the top issue for women because of unsafe environment. In evacuation centers, there is no proper classification between men and women. Families staying in evacuation centers are mixed - sometimes, several families are staying in a classroom where males and females are mixed. There is only one comfort room for men and women. Some comfort rooms have no locks and divided only with curtains. Hence, safety and security of women are compromised. Women and girls are vulnerable to sexual abuse. 11
