GABRIELA Philippines has sponsored the WISAP 
conference since 1986, with delegates from around 
the world, everywhere from Nepal to Palestine. 
This year women came together to share experiences, and develop strategies
to combat the impact of war, globalization and empire on women.


Over 1,000 activists have been killed in the 
Philippines since Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (GMA) 
took office in 2001. Hundreds more have been 
harassed, displaced and/or disappeared. Of these 
over half came from the organized opposition 
movement. 98 of those killed were women - half 
murdered while working as GABRIELA Women's Party 
organizers, one of the only women's electoral parties in the world.


We invite the Bay Area community to our community 
report back and discussion to build
common strategies for international women's solidarity.
Join us to support the women in the Philippines 
and internationally in their quest for justice!
