A seminar on the human rights situation in the country was conducted in September
27, 2023 for the women’s organizations in Minglanilla.
The resource person was Justine Villarante of the Community Empowerment Resource
Network (CERNET). A total of 125 participants attended the seminar.
The women were made aware that the impending Minglanilla Reclamation Project with
its consequent dislocation of their homes and livelihood is a violation of their basic human right
to security of shelter and live decently if the government has no measures done to address the
harsh effects of the reclamation.
