As to the impact of empowerment on women, the respondents agreed to the positive result of the action taken by the local government unit.

However, there are some things that are not clear to the respondents as there are some questions where respondents stand neutral.

The only negative result of the study is the threat that women may use their rights to prejudice men that may result in social disorder.
