| Summary: | It has been said that a country's quality of legislation is the hallmark of the nation's sense of justice. It is the quintessential part of answering to and redressing issues in the government.

Since the international ratification of the night work prohibition for women, burning controversies started to ignite. Gender discrimination was subtly shown in the Philippine labor legislations.

This paper, using an interdisciplinary approach, seeks to tackle the economic, psychological, and psychological facets of the night work prohibition for women, a provision that stirs national and international sense of justice, in understanding underlying presumptions bounded by it. |
