During our lesson I realized many things about my gender and that is we are unique or different from one another, for example we have different body types or how our body works differently from the opposite sex. And another realization is that how we view gender roles from the Men’s perspective and from the women’s perspective, for example the stereotypes of what a men and women should be and what are the do’s and don’t of the genders.

Do national policies respond or address issues related to sexual roles and responsibilities?

In my opinion the government is working and that they are aware of crime being committed by their citizens. The government is still working help the community see that we are all equal we should treat one another with respect even if they have different gender.

It is our responsibility as an individual to respect and treat each other with equality despite of the gender we have. Another article/policy is the World health organization (who) that address the issue about sexual misconduct such as sexua abuse and sexual violence. World health organization stated that it's their responsibility to do no harm and provide a disciplinary actions and prioritize the rights and needs of the victims on the said issues. There are also an article that talks about promoting women's career development and overcoming the barriers of economic empowerment in men and women. This articles is a proof that the national policies are responding to different sexual roles our world is experiencing.

In the Philippines, the national policies address issues related to sexual roles and responsibilities, particularly through the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act (Republic Act 10354). This law includes provisions for comprehensive sexuality education in schools, which aims to promote gender-sensitive and rights-based education. Additionally, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is tasked with integrating RH Law strategies into national poverty reduction and social protection programs, which can indirectly address issues related to sexual roles and responsibilities.

Furthermore, the implementation of the RH Law seeks to empower individuals, especially women, to make informed choices regarding family planning and reproductive health. By providing access to modern methods of contraception and promoting gender equality, the law contributes to challenging traditional sexual roles and responsibilities in society.

In conclusion, while there are national policies in place that address issues related to sexual roles and responsibilities in the Philippines, the effectiveness of these policies in promoting gender equality and changing societal norms may vary and require continuous monitoring and evaluation.

The Republic Act No. 9710 is one of the policies that I can give. This Article shows how it makes the sexual roles and responsibilities equal to each other. The article aims discrimination to stop and empower women to push through opportunities such as earning and learning.

To add to it national policies also respond in a way that they can help both roles, they have equal rights for everyone to have a right to education, and there are also sexual and reproductive health policies that help women take care of themselves and learn more about sexual education, and last is the policies about the workplace where all gender or sex can do the same job and will have the same salary. The national policies also make sure that everyone receives equal rights.

The WHO didn't just respond but they also aimed to prevent it, they won't tolerate sexual misconduct that includes: exploitation, sexual abuse, sexual harassment (SEAH), and sexual violence.

The WHO also makes a campaign or advocacy about stopping Violence Against Women or what we know as VAWC. Not only one but many campaigns.

Many national policies address the issues about sexual roles and responsibilities, and I can say that they help because now everyone can learn, everyone can work, and everyone can vote. We all have rights now and our duty as citizens is to spread awareness and stop discriminating against each other just because we have different sex.

In my opinion, the answer is definitely yes. In the past, women were only allowed to work at home and were not given the same opportunities or privileges as men. As a result, they took action to ensure that both genders receive the respect and possibilities that are rightfully theirs.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by United Nations member states further emphasize the importance of gender equality (Goal 5) and good health and well-being (Goal 3). Nations committed to these goals strive to create policies that address sexual roles and responsibilities, promoting a more inclusive and fair society. These examples illustrate the global effort to integrate issues related to sexual roles into national policies, fostering a more equal and just environment.

For me, everyone men and women alike should prioritise their health. According to the article I read, every aspect is different; women have distinct responsibilities and tasks than males have. There are certain things that both men and women should know, like getting checked out in terms of each other's physical and sexual health. Health and gender equality should be enjoyed by all. Everyone needs to be conscious of what is going on in their intimate areas and take precautions to avoid contracting sex-related illnesses.

Our Nation is known for being conservative and sexual roles are not much of a topic. But I believe that it is very relevant. Our National policies do address certain issues about sexual responsibilities as well as gender roles. It is also very obvious that younger generations are well invested in these despite being in a patriarchal system.

My take on this is Yes, Philippine policies do address sexual issues. One example of this is the Republic Act 7877: Also known as the Anti-sexual harassment act of 1995. This law addresses sexual harassment focused on work and education. This law hold companies and institutions responsible for a certain situation of harassment. This is not gender bias and offender can be of any gender, it is any person who requires any sexual favor from the other and it doesn't moatter if the request is accepted or denied.

This policy is very important because it protect individuals from often unseen sources of harassment such as the workplace.
