International Women’s Alliance – Europe in Solidarity with the Filipino People: Justice, Accountability, and the Fight Against Impunity
As women and migrants in Europe, we call for:
Full accountability for Rodrigo Duterte and all those responsible for extrajudicial killings;
Continued support for international justice mechanisms, including the ICC;
Accountability for corruption and human rights abuses under the current administration of Ferdinand Marcos Jr.;
An end to the system of political dynasties, oligarchic control, and bureaucratic capitalism that perpetuates inequality and injustice.
We stand with Filipino women, workers, and communities in their calls for justice:
Justice for the victims of extrajudicial killings.
Justice for the victims of state violence.
End impunity now.
In solidarity, we reaffirm our commitment to support women and people’s movements, amplify the voices of victims, and strengthen international pressure to hold perpetrators accountable.
The struggle continues—not only to remember the past, but to transform the present.
Statement of Solidarity from the International Women’s Alliance- Europe (IWA-EU)
Since January 6, 2026, armed attacks have escalated with a clear objective: to crush grassroots democracy, erase women’s liberation, and re-impose patriarchal, centralized rule through terror.
The attack on the Self-Administration territories has continued relentlessly since the beginning of the year. On January 30, another so-called “agreement” was announced between the Self-Administration Territories and the Syrian transitional government. We have witnessed enough of these agreements over months and years to state clearly: Al-Jolani, his allies, and their agreements cannot be trusted. History—especially the history of the Kurdish people—is filled with broken promises imposed under coercion and discarded when no longer useful.
