Indigenous women are subjected to violence and discrimination against women, the government ignores their basic social services and displacement from their lands. Like No Name Women, the indigenous women of the Philippines, “pushed the development organization to provide their support and actively engage in the Cordillera women's movement. On March 8, 1987, indigenous women from across the Cordillera came together to establish a women's program that would address the needs of women in the region.” Cordillera women faced many challenges such as gender bias. Women in similar jobs to men are paid less than men, opportunities for women are limited.

There is still a movement to address women's issues
