Abstract

Women empowerment has been global advocacy that aims to encourage women. Among these minorities, homemakers are essential groups that need to be empowered. As such, this study investigated the social empowerment of homemakers and specifically explored their perceptions of women empowerment and education. A total of 5 homemakers with a degree from Baguio City were interviewed. An in-depth interview was conducted to gather detailed information about the participants experiences. Then the lecturer analyzed four documents to triangulate the data. The lecturer identified themes among the participants answers. The methods conducted determined that homemakers have different perceptions of women empowerment, which revolves around notions of women empowerment such as contribution to society, recognizing ones power within, and the ability to control ones life.   Regarding their perception of education, there are two categories:  an aid in logically doing parenting jobs and secondary to family obligations. It has been concluded that homemakers view education as beneficial for their well-being and role fulfillment within their families. Homemakers considered resuming their education as they deemed it beneficial for their psychological and social empowerment. However, a concentrated idea of irrelevance, lack of time, and self-doubts have been directed to their hesitations to continue formal education.
