CEDAW/C/PHL/7-8 of daily and weekly rest and paid annual leaves of workers in accordance with national laws, taking into account the special characteristics of domestic work. 21. While not in the WPLA, the following were also passed during the 15th Congress: (a) An Act Allowing the Employment of Night Workers. Aside from expanding their employment options, the law also provides for mandatory facilities for night workers’ safety and protects pregnant women from discrimination on account of their pregnancy; (b) Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act (RA 10364), amending and strengthening the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003; An Act Declaring November Twenty-Five of Every Year as “National Consciousness Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and Children” (RA 10398). (c) The Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act of 2009 (RA 9995) which makes it unlawful for a person to take a photo or a video of a sexual act or to “capture an image of a person’s private parts under circumstances in which the person/s has/have a reasonable expectation of privacy.” Prohibited acts under this law are to copy or reproduce, to sell or distribute and to publish or broadcast such coverage “notwithstanding that consent to record or take photo or video coverage of the same was given by such person/s;” and (d) The Expanded Breastfeeding Promotion Act of 2009 (RA 10028), which provides incentives to all government and private health institutions with rooming in and breastfeeding practices, among others. 22. Despite the challenges in correcting discriminatory laws, some of which challenge traditional belief systems and patriarchal attitudes, the State Party sustains its efforts along this end and promotes a collaborative work, including gender sensitizing legislators, or at least their key technical staff responsible for research and drafting of bills, where appropriate, with concerned government institutions and with CSOs and other stakeholders. On discriminatory provisions under the Code of Muslim Personal Laws 23. The MCW mandates that customary laws related to marital relations shall be respected, provided that they do not discriminate against women. In the Philippines, this primarily affects Presidential Decree 1038 or the Code of Muslim Personal Laws (CMPL) as it contains “discriminatory” provisions relating to early marriage, polygamy and divorce as well as unequal inheritance rights. For example, Article 27 of the CMPL states that no Muslim male can have more than one wife unless he can deal with them with equal companionship and just treatment as enjoined by Islamic law and only in exceptional cases. Some Moro women clai m that men contracting subsequent marriages often disregard these conditions. Divorce is allowed under the CMPL, but while equal rights to divorce are given to both spouses by Articles 46-53, a Moro man is also allowed to divorce his wife for no reason at all; an option that is not available for women. 24. The State Party through the PCW organized a consultation among Muslim women and men to discuss ways to address the discriminatory provisions under the CMPL. The consultation surfaced the differing opinions of both women and men on said provisions, making it difficult to agree on measures acceptable to all. Women, 8/36 15-03079
