Officers of GABRIELA, a women's alliance, in a press conference at the Quezon City Circle in Quezon City on Tuesday, September 19, hold a rose-themed protest action to commemorate the women martyrs of Martial Law whose stories are reflected in the activists today facing abuses and arbitrary terrorist designation under the Anti-Terrorism Law, amongst other state-perpetrated attacks.
This aims to highlight the economic crises under Marcos Sr. which drove women to protest in various forms back then—mirroring the crisis and soaring prices of rice, oil, and other basic items driving Filipino women to action today.
