Thousands march against Duterte on International Women's Day
- 5 years ago
Thousands of women took to the streets in Manila on March 8, 2019 (International Women's Day) to protest against President Rodrigo Duterte's alleged misogyny. On a day highlighting global calls for gender parity, protesters marched to Malacañang to castigate Duterte, a maverick politician who casually cracks rape jokes and said last year that when he was a teenager he indecently "touched" the family maid.
