The respondents were disaggregated but were only limited from ages 15 to 65. This may imply for example that health needs and health service preferences will vary based on multiple structural inequalities within each of the social groups that they occupy. Sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression are also factors that affect the health care needs, the livelihood opportunities, the participation in political processes of indigenous women. Therefore, further studies should be done to carefully consider these variables. Summary of Findings Food Security In the time of pandemic, there is a significant increase in the number of indigenous women and girls who are hungrier, have no capacity to stock up food, and experience food insecurity. It was during the lockdown that the communities felt more than ever the impacts of climate change on their food production, and how corporate control over their land and natural resources within their ancestral domain diminished their food sources. It was during the lockdown that they felt more than ever state neglect. While there is a significant number of indigenous women who said that they have received support from the local government unit, most of them responded that they received support only once, or that the support they got was not enough. Through all these difficulties, it is the women - in their role as mothers, older sister, or grandmother- who are considered the primary responsible for putting food on the table. Health The COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines highlighted the structural and historical inequalities experienced by the indigenous peoples and made even worse for indigenous women and girls who are most at risk due to the particular conditions in areas in which they live. Results of this survey has shown that the pandemic has increased the multiple inequalities that were already affecting the indigenous women and girls in terms of limited access to health services, continuous discrimination against them through disregard of their traditional health knowledge and practices, and lack of fact-based information about COVID-19 and vaccination. The workload of the indigenous women increased during lockdown due to family care and other tasks as they are considered the primary responsible in caring and maintaining the health of the family. Such pressure, as well as social disruptions that have left indigenous women to struggle with feelings of uncertainty, stress and worries about economic well-being, including job loss, have effects on their mental health.
