In a statement, Amihan chairperson Zenaida Soriano said the terror law will only amplify systematic attacks on peasants.
“We speak for the peasant women victims of EJK and other human rights abuses. The Duterte regime via its counter-insurgency programs killed 38 peasant women, 11 children, 9 peasant couples and at least 34 older persons,"
"The ATL will lead to the worsening of the already atrocious plight of rural-based sectors in the country,” Soriano added.
Soriano also highlighted that under Duterte, women have to stand and defend fellow women against abuses and systematic attacks.

“Under this fascist regime, women have to stand and defend fellow women against abuses, red-tagging, EJK, illegal arrest and detention and other human rights abuses,"
"We call on the people to support the lawyers who will represent our voice at the Supreme Court. Let us resist the continuing attacks against activists, human rights defenders and political dissenters,"
"Biguin natin ang kahibangan ng gobyernong Duterte na maghasik ng takot para makapanatili sa poder,” she ended. #
