Abstract

On 14 August 2009, the President of the Philippines, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, signed into law Republic Act 9710—the Magna Carta of Women. The Act is a comprehensive women’s human rights law that seeks to eliminate discrimination against women by recognizing, protecting, fulfilling and promoting the rights of Filipino women, especially those in the marginalized sectors.
