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.

The conviction of Lance Corporal Daniel Smith during the promulgation of the Subic rape case is a victory not only for Nicole but for all women who have been victimized by many forms of violence against women (VAW). Despite attempts of DOJ secretary Raul Gonzalez to impede the progress of the case including the many insinuations hurled against her person, Nicole showed strength to face her attackers in court and stand up for her dignity with the full support of women who continuously struggle against VAW.
