Stories of Empowered Dabawenya as Partners of Social Development in Davao del Norte

Author(s) Ms. Christine Dianne T Magbanua, Mr. Wenji D Sanchez
Country Philippines
Abstract This study explores the experiences of empowered Dabawenya women and their contributions to society’s development in Davao del Norte. Utilizing a multiple case study design using the purposive sampling technique, five empowered Dabawenya women participated in the in-depth interviews (IDI). The collected data were analyzed through thematic and cross-case analysis. The study reveals that these women navigate complex challenges, including balancing family responsibilities and community roles, overcoming organizational and societal barriers, and the need for greater support and resources. Despite these difficulties, they demonstrate strong coping mechanisms such as faith and prayer, social support, resilience, and proactive actions. Their stories shed light on their personal growth, integrity, and community impact while underscoring the value of collaboration and access to education. This study contributes to the discourse on gender and development by highlighting the vital role of empowered women in local progress. It ultimately urges the implementation of inclusive policies and support structures to enhance women’s participation in sustainable development.
