The Women Workers in Struggle for Employment, Empowerment and Emancipation (Women WISE3), a network of families of victims of human rights victims, will lead a jogging activity around the Quezon City Memorial Shrine tomorrow, October 15, from 9:30 to 10 in the morning as part of the continuing campaign for justice for the victims of extra-judicial killings, enforced disappearance and other human rights violations in the workplace.

Women Wise3 spokesperson, Luzviminda Fortuna, widow of slain Nestlé union leader Diosdado Fortuna said that the activity is an effort to remind the Aquino administration of his promise to bring closure to human rights killings, “Political killings among other human rights violations persisted even under Aquino while previous cases like that of my husband who was killed in 2005 remain unsolved. This activity is a way of engaging not the public to persevere in the campaign towards ending violations impunity and pressure the Malacañang to take concrete steps so justice can be served the soonest possible time.”

The Center for Trade Union and uHuH Human Rights (CTUHR) and other trade union members whose members have been victims of human rights violations will also be joining the activity. Around one hundred joggers wearing shirts with printed calls for justice are expected to come.#
