ICHRP members and allies around the world join day of action on enforced disappearances

Members of the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines and allies took part in a global day of action on August 30 to raise awareness about enforced disappearances in the Philippines. Actions took place in multiple countries around the world, and included selfies, vigils, and statements released by ICHRP member organizations, chapters, and allies.

August 30 was the International Day of Victims of Enforced Disappearances, and came just two days prior to the 32nd anniversary of the Hague Joint Declaration and the International Day of Prayer for Just Peace in the Philippines on September 1st. ICHRP’s day of action was held to expose and oppose the counterinsurgency program in the Philippines under Marcos Jr that continues to lead to enforced disappearances, and to call for justice for all victims of forced disappearances in the Philippines.
