Women to picket Agri Dept tomorrow

Media Advisory

World March of Women - Pilipinas

 

Join us tomorrow, at 8-10AM, in front of the Department of Agriculture at Elliptical Road to resist corporate encroachment of our natural resources.

 

As women globally march on International Women's Day (IWD) against wars and corporate capitalism, so do we World March of Women - Pilipinas. On the eve of IWD, we troop to the Department of Agriculture to protest the Supreme Court First Division's resolution allowing commercial fishing inside the 15-kilometer municipal fishing zone.

 

When this becomes final and executory, women fishers and their families will starve and will be displaced by lack of harvests and will be vulnerable to all forms of exploitation.

 

The women will wear makeshift boats and pitch tents to represent displacement from capitalist exploitation.
