DefendPeasantWomen is a campaign of the Amihan National Federation of Peasant Women to fight and resist intensified attacks and human rights violations against peasant women across the country and hold the Duterte regime primarily accountable for the abuses committed by the government armed forces. The said campaign is joined by Rural Women Advocates (RUWA), Gantala Press, Sama-samang Artista para sa Kilusang Agraryo (SAKA), National Network of Agrarian Reform Advocates (NNARA Youth), Gabriela Youth and other women’s organizations, land advocates, students, artists, church people, and academe.

​

In a time when Duterte’s regime seeks to rinse the blood off its hands in an attempt to secure its legacy in his last year in office, forcing us to forget the names and faces of peasants his regime has abandoned and taken advantage of, #DefendPeasantWomen commits to reminding the state of its real violent legacy and to seek justice for the rural women they have long abused.
