In honor of International Working Women’s Day, GABRIELA Los Angeles held an action that called attention to the failure of President Aquino in addressing the daily violence Filipina women face, including abuse, poverty, trafficking, corruption, and transphobia. This is part of the worldwide movement calling for Philippine President Aquino to step down from his presidency given his record of human right violations, including his failure to seek justice for Jennifer Laude (26 year old transgender Filipina brutally murdered by a U.S. Marine), his own corruption and pork barrel scams, his failure to provide immediate and long-term relief to Typhoon survivors, and his willingness to further militarize the Philippines through unequal military agreements with the U.S. (VFA/EDCA)
