The Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) urged to advocate the enactment of the SOGIE to protect people from different types of discrimination in private and public institutions. | ManilaBulletin READ:
In a statement, PCW acknowledged that the lack of a protective legal mechanism for individuals of diverse SOGIE makes them vulnerable. This makes those individuals subject to discriminatory behaviors that prevent them from fully participating in jobs, school, and training and limit their access to basic services.
It added that persons of diverse SOGIE suffer from "harassment and assault," whose effects range from psychological trauma to physical injuries and even death. "It has been more than two decades after the first anti-discrimination bill was filed in Congress, and there is still a lack of national policy that prohibits these discriminatory practices, leaving persons of diverse SOGIE with no recourse for redress."
Although the 1987 Philippine Constitution protects the right of every individual to equal protection of the laws, PWC believes that without difference or discrimination, laws safeguarding human rights are not uniformly implemented, especially for persons with diverse SOGI.
