Pax Christi International is organising an event with its member organisation from the Philippines on the human rights situation in the country. We regularly hear news about extrajudicial killings as part of the president’s ‘war on drugs’, but what is the actual situation? What other human rights problems exist in the country? How can activists work in the second most dangerous country in the world for human rights defenders? How does it all interrelate to the peace process between the government of the Philippines and the national democratic front of the Philippines?

Cesar Villanueva, Director of Popular Peace Education as well as Conflict Worker, Transformative Mediator and Peace Builder of Pax Christi Philippines, will give participants some insights on how human rights are affected in the country and what the international community can do.

Please RSVP to Senior Advocacy Officer Alice Kooij Martinez.
