Over 756 activists have been killed in the Philippines since Gloria
Macapagal Arroyo (GMA) took office in 2001. Hundreds more have been
harassed, displaced and/or disappeared. Of these over half came from the
organized opposition movement. 80 of those killed were women - half murdered
while working as GABRIELA Women's Party organizers, one of the only women's
electoral parties in the world.
In May 2006, GABRIELA Network USA organized an all-women human rights
delegation with lawyers from the Center for Constitutional Rights, the
National Lawyers Guild and the International Association of Democratic
Lawyers to investigate.
We invite the Bay Area community to the West Coast release of their
findings, with an update on the current situation in the Philippines.
Join us to support the women in the Philippines in their quest for justice!
