CWR | Center for Women's Resources

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. The first days of the implementation of SIM registration have been marred by technical challenges and threats to digital security and privacy.

The Center for Women’s Resources stands in solidarity with human rights defenders from Gabriela, Karapatan, and Rural Missionaries of the Philippines (RMP), and reverberates the call to drop trumped-up charges of perjury filed by former National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon Jr. against them.
