                    [Summary] => 

On the occasion of international women's day today, Gabriela Women's Partylist describes Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as the number one women's rights violator. 
 

An unprecedented 83 women were victims of extra judicial killings, but her record of anti-democratic policies has reached new heights with the signing of the anti-terror bill this women's month. It is a sad fact that a woman now wears the face of the oppressor, and that even the women's right to be represented in government has been attacked.

Knowing the administration's indiscriminate attacks against anyone who is critical of the government, anyone who simply gripes about hunger can now be tagged as terrorist.
