"Women cyclists in the Philippines don’t just fear for their safety on the streets. They grapple with sexual harassment online, too."

A good read about the realities and everyday struggles of Filipina commuters in the streets. 

Our cause also reached several government agencies (DOLE, DILG, PNP) at this Monday morning's roundtable discussion on the Safe Spaces Act spearheaded by the Commission on Human Rights' Gender Equality and Women's Rights Center! We added a call for the PCW to publicly disclose which LGUs have not yet adopted a counterpart ordinance.
