Child Rights Network members meet this morning to hold a learning session on increasing the age to determine statutory rape in the Philippines. Atty. Cecille Lumague-Latuno, consultant of UNICEF Philippines and from the Ateneo Human Rights Center, explains the provisions of the proposed amendatory law to increase the age of consent for determining statutory rape and to equalize protection for boys and girls.

If you wish to join the #ENDChildRape campaign, request for partnership, or hold a similar learning session, send an email to crnphilippines@gmail.com.
