Congratulations! We are happy to be part of this mailing list!
We are from the Women's Legal Bureau, Inc., a feminist legal resource non-government organization from the Philippines. We started operations in 1991, and have since addressed a wide range of women's issues, although our efforts have been particularly focused on the fight to combat sexual violence against women. Recently, we spearheaded a pioneering project aimed at improving the legal management of rape cases in the country. The fruit of this endeavor is the completion of a multi-disciplinary training manual entitled "Addressing Rape in the Legal System," to be used by training academies and institutes, law enforcers, medico-legal officers, prosecutors and trial court judges. On the judicial front, we represent the survivors of various forms of gender-based violence against women before the courts and quasi-judicial bodies, or refer these cases to the Legal Advocates for Women Network, or LAWNet, which we formed a few years back. We are also part of a larger women's organization known as SIBOL (Collective Initiative of Women for the Transformation of Law and Society). With them, we have been actively lobbying Congress for the passage of the Anti-Anti-Abuse of Women in Intimate Relationships (Anti-AWIR) bill. We welcome and eagerly anticipate sharing our experiences and exchanging views and information on women's issues with you. Prof. Maureen C.
