March for RH Law
Reproductive health advocates together with women from all walks of life, government officials, civil society partners, young people, and celebrity supporters, the Humanist Alliance of the Philippines, International will march to urge the Supreme Court Justices to uphold the Reproductive Health Law.
The march will commence at Anda Circle and pass the Catholic Bishop’s Conference of the Philippines’ (CBCP) office in Intramuros, before proceeding to the Supreme Court in Padre Faura, and lastly to Plaza Salamanca in Taft. The march will begin at 2PM. Attendees of the march are encouraged to wear purple shirts or accessories.
According to Janina Santos, President of the Philippine Health Bloggers Society (PHBS) "We believe that the law is not merely constitutional - it is just and essential. Mothers are dying, young girls are getting pregnant, and the HIV is wrecking havoc in our society as we speak".
"PHBS believes in advocating for health online, but we are willing to bring our fight in real life when the situation calls for it. This is that situation.", she added.
