Details:
Women's groups will highlight the economic crises facing
Filipino women today, including the food and fuel inflation, insufficient wages
and the continuing violence of the government's war on drugs and war on terror.
Participants will express a condemnation of Congress' moves to change the
Constitution, instead of focusing on the dire socio-economic situation of the
people.
As a photo opportunity, participants will mirror the
Bonifacio monument in a tableau of women- mothers, workers, urban poor,
indigenous, farmers, fisherfolk, students- struggling to survive and thrive in
the current challenging socio-political and economic environment.
Opportunities will also be available for interviewing of
women leaders.
