5. Please use the language of CEDAW, GR 30, and UNSCR. Medyo limited din kasi
ang language ng MCW.
Question and Answer
Input from the audience:
1. Appreciated ko yung buong input, framing at paglilinaw ng bagay-bagay. Because
minsan yung victims and law enforcement agencies hindi nauunawan ano yung ibig
sabihin ng abuso.
2. I’m just wondering regarding the commitment ng non-state actors, are they also
committed sa UNSCR 1325, it’s only the state doing its part. Paano pa pwede
panagutin [yung] non-state actors?
3. We are also sending support to Marawi siege. Naalala ko lahat ng nakausap ko nung
Marawi siege. And at that time there was no protocol how to handle the hostage
survivors. And they were not categorized as IDPs, they weren’t from Marawi. And
then yung sa rape. Sa experience namin, may category and rape. Merong suki o
inaasawa. Yung isa asawa na talaga. Yung tayo na, may pera. Yung attitude - may
support na ganyan, yung attitude ng parents taas kilay kasi may support. Three, four,
or five of these young people magkakaparyente. You can just imagine the trauma yung isa malakas ng loob, but the rest are really going through a lot. Just last week a
family called up. At that time we couldn’t say where we were bringing them. I think
this is not only timely but this is an opportunity for us to look for ways where we could
bring them. There’s a need for protocols, kung pwede sana mas descriptive. Pag
women’s case, it’s always subjected to psycho-emotional crisis. Kaya psychosocial
response palagi. Pero marami pa kasi structural violence… very enriching and I
appreciated the historical context . Kasi yung challenge namin sa ground, yung
bridging. Psych yung background ko pero may legal [demands] rin.
Prof. Rallonza: thank you ma’am. Kaya yung recommendation ko is institutional compliance
and assistance to victims. Tinitingnan yung MCW treaty, state actors lang ba ang
mananagot in this case? Well if you’re looking in terms of the state parties. If non state
actors, you go back to UNSCR 1325, that any party involved in conflict situation. Pag
CEDAW is state. If UNSCR , as long as you are inside the country, even if you are a
non-state actor, you are still obligated. Any party that is involved in the conflict. Do not let
CSOs do the job that the state is supposed to do. When you're talking about human rights
violations, it is omission and commission. In terms of other instruments, there are other
states involved. That’s why we have to know the relationships of all these standards.
If you have not done anything during that time, what can you do now? Dapat tingnan nyo din
ang access to justice. Pwede bang balikan ng CHR ang minors noon? It doesn’t mean na
wala na sila sa poder mo, hindi pwede pilitin kasi lalo na minor. And I think that’s something
that CHR, government, and civil society can look at. Parang it’s a collaboration kasi there is
