International Women's Day in the Philippines

Updated:

Thousands of people took to the streets of Manila for International Women’s Day. This year, in addition to slogans advocating equal treatment of men and women, protesters also called for the resignation of Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino, the President of the country. Demonstrators accuse the President of being responsible for the death of 44 Special Forces commandos killed during an operation against an armed Islamist group in January.
