“This is a study in two parts.

The policy overview maps the evolving digital policy landscape in the Philippines, particularly in relation to the startup ecosystem that constitutes a significant fraction of the platform economy in the country.

The research report lays out the context for a case study on the platformization of care work in the Philippines and therefore includes a review of relevant laws and policies such as those on labor contracting, domestic work, taxation, and e-commerce.

This report provides a comprehensive snapshot of  country, which, on its face, is a leader in promoting women’s access to and use of the internet. In addition to research and qualitative interviews, this study incorporates the result of a face-to-face household survey conducted in urban poor residential areas in the Philippines. Compared to other countries where the survey was similarly conducted, the Philippines seems to be far more effective in facilitating women’s access to the internet and ensuring they are able to use the internet for a wide range of activities with confidence.

What is it like to be a feminist in the time of the internet? What kind of internet will be beneficial to women, LGBTQI people, indigenous people, persons with disabilities, and other marginalized groups? If we were to create feminist internet, how would it look like?

This paper will take a look at the making of a feminist internet in Southeast Asia. It aims to deepen our understanding of how the digital landscape has affected feminists, women’s rights and sexual rights, and intersectional movement building work in the sub-region, and shed light on that the feminist principles of the internet are and how they can be used towards a transformative internet. It will explore current efforts and initiatives in Southeast Asia that contribute towards building strong and resilient feminist movements, both offline and online.

This report highlights imbalances between women’s and men’s access to and participation in ICTs and asserts that more needs to be done to ensure that women equally enjoy the benefits arising from the global knowledge-based economy at all levels of ICT policy and practice. Integration of gender perspectives within ICT for Development (ICTD) calls for increased political commitment by policy-makers and practitioners accompanied by dedicated measures and resources. As promising new areas such as e-governance, e-learning or e-commerce increasingly entrench these emerging technologies, it is crucial that policy directions and processes are effectively planned from the outset, and that proper linkages are established not only between gender and ICTs, but also across these other sectors – for which specific gender mainstreaming requirements must be accommodated.
