2. Objectives and Strategies A national inquiry process is a strategy adopted by NHRIs, whereby a large number of individual complaints can be dealt with in a proactive and cost-effective manner. It addresses systemic violations of human rights, not just by looking into evidence from individual cases, but also by assessing the existing related laws, policies, and programs. Hence, the design of the “National Inquiry on the Reproductive Health and Rights of Women with Disabilities” requires the participation of both WWDs as rights-holders, and the Philippine government, including its national agencies and the local government units, as primary dutybearers. 2.1.
