Ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo…1

A Nationwide University Roadshow on Extra Legal Killings and Enforced Disappearances

 

To raise public awareness on the issue of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings in the Philippines, the Asian Federation Against Involuntary Disappearances (AFAD) joins the Ateneo Human Rights Center (AHRC), as one of its partners in the nationwide university roadshow from August 2010 to January 2011. Under the theme, “Ang Mamatay ng Dahil Sa Iyo1,” the project aims to inform university students about the reality of this form of human rights violations in the country and orient them about the available international mechanisms and domestic laws and policies that protect individuals from enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings.

Together with the AHRC, AFAD visits 10 universities. In Luzon: Angeles University (Pampanga); Adamson University (Manila) and Western Philippine University (Palawan - Aborlan, Busuanga , Culion, and Puerto Prinsesa Campuses). In the Visayas: San Augustin University (Iloilo City); St. Paul University (Dumaguete City), Silliman University (Dumaguete City); and St.Thomas Aquinas College (Sogod, Leyte). The team prioritized areas where enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings are prevalent. Apart from the joint efforts of these institutions, AFAD also takes the effort to organize its own roadshows in the University of Baguio, University of the Cordilleras (Baguio City), and Bel-Air School (Laguna). It is part of AFAD’s mission to educate the younger generation to build a sustainable line of defense against human rights violations, as it strives to work for a WORLD WITHOUT DESAPARECIDOS.

Note:

1 To die because of thee.
