CWR's annual campaign Move to Mob went to Polytechnic University of the Philippines to discuss the link between violence against women and mental health.
In commemoration of International Working Women’s Day this March 8, CWR organizes a public forum to present Ulat Lila, its annual report on the situation of Filipino women. For 21 years, Ulat Lila has served as an avenue for researchers, community leaders, advocates, and rights defenders to discuss pressing issues on women from different sectors.

Women contribute significantly to economic production and the country’s development through their participation in manufacturing, industry, and agricultural sectors, many face job insecurity, low wages, and poor working conditions. Worse, many workers become victims of threats and harassment in the course of their work to organize fellows into trade unions and workers’ organizations.
The series of attacks against unionists and activist workers in the Philippines has prompted the groups to file cases at the International Labor Organization to investigate and obligate the government to take steps to ensure that workers’ rights to association and organizing are protected. With much clamor from these groups, the High-Level Tripartite Mission of the ILO will go to the Philippines on July 23 to 27, to look into the serious violations of ILO Convention 87 (Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention).

The Center for Women’s Resources joins human rights groups and women’s and child rights organizations in condemning the Philippine military for violating the International Humanitarian Law (IHL) when they held hostage a 2-month-old infant and two pregnant women in a desperate attempt to force surrenderers among revolutionaries. Baby Rhea, whose parents are both NPA (New People’s Army) fighters, was born while her mother was held captive by the AFP. Baby Rhea was eventually turned over to her grandmother after subsequent demands by different groups.
The Center for Women’s Resources joins civil society, people’s organizations, and all concerned Filipino citizens in calling for the suspension of SIM registration.
