Recent struggles around SRHR in the Philippines

Please listen to dr Estrada Claudio. She is Dean of the College of Social Work at the University of the Philippines, Diliman and co-founder of Likhaan. She gives insight into the history of the struggle to establish rights and services around reproductive health at the national level and the complexities of this process.

In this process, religious actors could be found on both sides of the struggle: although the Catholic Council of Bishops were plainly against the passing of this law, support for it was found among many religious groups (including Catholic) and the general population.
