Assignment 5.1 Gender Equality and Reproductive Health Care in the Philippines Justine Camacho-Tajonera
This is an assignment for the course, How To Change the World, offered for free by Wesleyan University via Coursera.org. This slide show tackles how women, particularly the underprivileged, were undermined when the RH Law (then, a bill) was blocked by powerful groups in the Philippines such as the Catholic Church. Today, this bill has already been passed into law and the Supreme Court has mandated it constitutional (with several provisions stricken down).

How Ethiopia is Empowering Women Through Community-Based Health InsuranceHFG Project
Ethiopia has taken great strides in recent years to provide access to healthcare and financial protection for its citizens through government supported health insurance. Thanks to the Government of Ethiopia’s Community Based Health Insurance (CBHI) schemes, supported by the USAID-funded Health Sector Financing Reform/ Health Finance and Governance project (HSFR/HFG), women in Ethiopia are more empowered and better able to independently access essential health care services.

This presentation was created before the bill was passed. The RH is now a law so it is definitely no longer called as RH BILL but rather RH LAW. I hope this will still be useful esp. to those who do not know the law itself.

Abstract
CalWORKs family benefits program refers to a public welfare scheme that offers financial help and services to families that meet the eligibility criteria and which have children in their homes. It is based in California state in the United States of America. The program caters to the entire population of the families within the state that meets the eligibility criteria for welfare. The primary population that is targeted by the program includes families that live under the federal poverty level while they have children in the homes. The main purpose of the program is to extend the assistance of different kinds to such families ranging from financial help, employment programs, housing needs, food, and medical services among others (Mojica, 2017).
The program is affected by different policies, some of which facilitate its activities while others hamper effective operations of the program. The bottom-line of the policies is program funding. The program is jointly funded by all government levels from the federal government to the state government of California as well as the county governments within California. The paper is mainly oriented towards studying the policies that guide CalWORKs. This includes its deficiencies and some policy suggestions that would further improve the efficiency of the program.
CalWORKs Family Benefit Program
Introduction
CalWORKs refers to a welfare program whose main purpose is providing financial help and facilities to needy families within California. The program runs in all counties within California whereby it is headed by county welfare departments at local levels. The help provided may be short-term or continual. Short term help occurs whereby the family in need requires no or fewer amounts of money, housing, food, utilities, clothes or healthcare services. A family that applies and qualifies for continuous help receives some amount of money every month such as house rent, food and other basic expenses (Pizzolato, Olson & Monje-Paulson, 2017).
There are requirements that the family applying for the assistance needs to attain for the to be eligible to receive the help. The most important of them is that the involved persons must be citizens of the United States of America, permanent resident, or legal noncitizen and precisely from the state of California. Additionally, they must fall under the low or very low-income earning category. They should be either unemployed, about to get unemployed or under-employed. The program also extends help to expectant persons, those with children below eighteen years of age and even those that are eighteen years old but are the heads of their families (Gutiérrez, 2016). This paper aims at describing the issues that affect policy formulation and implementation as far as the operations of the program are concerned.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Usap Tayo: Essential Points about the RH Bill
1. Essential Points about the RH Bill (House Bill 4244) Learn more at www.rhbillconversation.org
2. The bill, officially titled “An act providing for a comprehensive policy on responsible parenthood, reproductive health, and population and development and for other purposes” coercively advances government-run population control as the essential link to economic development. What is the aim of the proposed bill in its current state? Learn more Essential Points about the RH Bill (HB4244) at www.rhbillconversation.org
3. The stated “guiding principle” of the bill is that “the limited resources of the country cannot be suffered to be spread so thinly to service a burgeoning multitude that makes the allocations grossly inadequate and effectively meaningless.” As a remedy, the bill mandates a state-imposed reproductive health curriculum in schools, provides access to contraceptives to children from age eleven onwards without parental consent, family planning certification as a prerequisite to receiving a marriage license, and provides the framework for future adoption of abortion as a human right. What does this bill propose as the solution to the Philippine economic problems? Learn more Essential Points about the RH Bill (HB4244) at www.rhbillconversation.org
4. No. This bill states that all reproductive health workers “provide information and educate” and “render medical services” consistent with the new provisions in this bill. Similar to the recently passed healthcare legislation in the United States, this bill does not include measures that protect conscientious objections for healthcare workers or institutions that refuse to provide certain services due to religious or cultural beliefs and practices. In addition, the health care workers that receive this new training will receive a 10% honorarium to incentivize them to buy into the new programs. Also, through state-imposed reproductive health curriculum in schools, this undermines the rights of parents to be the primary educators of their children. Does this bill protect the rights of conscience of those that will be responsible for implementing the new measures? Learn more Essential Points about the RH Bill (HB4244) at www.rhbillconversation.org
5. No. The real needs of the Philippines are access to education and health care facilities, better infrastructure and sanitation methods, and skilled birth attendants. Improved education and better infrastructure (such as seaports and airports) will boost the employment rate and reduce poverty. More hospitals, cleaner health care facilities and skilled birth attendance will reduce maternal health. Moreover, even if the measures proposed in this bill (such as greater access to contraceptives) would solve the country’s needs, there are no provisions of how such measures are to be executed, given the current lack of infrastructure for hospital care and medical provisions and access to doctors or nurses. What are the needs of the Philippines and does this bill address them? Learn more Essential Points about the RH Bill (HB4244) at www.rhbillconversation.org
6. Despite countless studies, there has never been a direct link connecting high population with high poverty rates. During the 1970s and 1980s, Singapore instituted an aggressive two-child policy which led to a situation of labor shortages and the difficulty of supporting an aging population. Today, Singapore now pursues a pro-fertility policy. In Hong Kong, the government was able to overcome dismal conditions and a dense population (five times more than the government declared to be its carrying “capacity”) and it has experienced a great economic boom and high levels of economic prosperity due to a sound banking system, no public debt, a strong legal system, and a rigorously enforced anti-corruption regime. Have population control methods ever succeeded in reducing poverty? Learn more Essential Points about the RH Bill (HB4244) at www.rhbillconversation.org
