A wage hike and reproductive health were the main concerns raised by women members of the Partido ng Manggagawa (PM) [Labor Party-Philippines] in celebration of international women’s day. More than a hundred women workers and urban poor held a picket at the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) which was followed by a rally at the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) offices to highlight the two demands.
Pagtaas ng sahod at reproductive health ang dalawang malaking usaping itinulak ng mga kababaihang kasapi ng PM sa Pandaigdigang Araw ng Kababaihan noong ika-8 ng Marso. Lagpas 100 kababaihang manggagawa at maralita ang nagpiket sa Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) na sinundan ng rali sa Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).
